The coal mines of Ogassa

Historical milestone · Ogassa, Ripollès, Girona

Image of Ogassa, not of the place itself.

The first mine opened in 1838 and for a hundred and thirty years the coal of Surroca fed Catalan industry; the village passed fifteen hundred inhabitants and was left with little more than two hundred after the closure.
