Las Medulas - Great Attractions (Leon, Spain)
01:12 MinutosTake a tour of Las Médulas in Leon, Spain -- part of the Worlds Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Large, jagged, red rocks jut up through the green carpeting of the hills in the province of Leon, Spain. These formations, appearing like the shattered foundations of some monumental ruin of a building, mark the site of Las Medulas. This amazing part of the world was once an important part of the Romans gold mining operations. The method that the Romans used to extract the gold was remarkable; they actually carved through the mountains with water. By diverting water channels and using massive aqueducts, they forcibly eroded the stone, exposing veins of gold, and then harvested the gold from the water. The wonder of Las Medulas comes from the rugged beauty of the land, combined with the awe of Roman ingenuity and power.

Las Médulas - The Largest Gold Mine of the Roman Empire.
51 SegundosLas Médulas, Carucedo, Northwest of Spain - The place that used to be the largest gold mine of the Roman Empire, now invaded by forests of Sweet Chestnut. The spectacular landscape of Las Médulas resulted from the Ruina Montium, a Roman mining technique described by Pliny the Elder in 77 AD consisted of undermining the mountain with large quantities of water supplied by at least seven long aqueducts tapping the rivers in the nearby mountains. The same aqueducts were used to wash the extensive gold deposits, a precursor of Californian hydraulic mining. The area Hispania Tarraconensis had been invaded in 25 BC by the emperor Augustus, so the mining was initiated some time after the region had been subdued. Las Médulas is a World Heritage Site since 1997.
