The San Silvestro Archaeological-Mineral Park situated within the park and
overlooking two deep valleys
is the splendid Rocca di San
Silvestro, a fortified village
founded in the 10th century,
which provides an
enchanting glimpse of
medieval life.
A tour through
the remains of houses,
churches, the cemetery, the
wealthier area and the
industrial area tells the story
of daily life in Medieval times,
the relationship between the
inhabitants and the ruling
Lord and ancient methods of
metalworking.

Temperino Mine up to the
Earle Shaft area where the

Museums are situated.
A train
