Historical milestone · Benuza, La Cabrera, León

Image of Benuza, not of the place itself.

Recent surveys have documented, within the municipal areas of Sigüeya and Lomba, in Benuza, several Roman-period gold-mining operations, with open-pit faces and rock-cut structures linked to the same hydraulic system that fed Las Médulas.
