Minas de Riotinto

Image of Minas de Riotinto, not of the place itself.

In April 1902 a major ground movement in the Filón Sur caused a section of the historic village of Riotinto to collapse, leading to new housing being built at Alto de la Mesa to rehouse those affected. In January 1908 a further collapse destroyed about two hundred houses and left many more in ruins.
