Miniera d'oro di Sessa

Museo della Miniera d'Oro, Sessa

Malcantone has a subsoil rich in minerals; it is assumed that various metals, particularly gold, silver, iron, and lead, were mined as early as centuries past.

Malcantone has a mineral-rich subsoil, supposedly mining various metals, especially gold, silver, iron, and lead, as early as centuries past. The Sessa gold mine represents the only possible experience to experience the history of gold mining and mining in Switzerland. Walking through the gallery, called Leonilde, it will be possible to discover the most spectacular and characteristic elements of the mining world, an aspect of our past that only since 2018 has been made possible thanks to enormous recovery work.
