Old mining exploitation of dolomitic limestone marbles, these exploitations date back to 1920.
These marbles were exploited for the subsequent extraction of quicklime.
Such marbles contain small crystals of phlogopite, aragonite, pyrite, limonite and calcite. Currently, the area is in a state of abandonment and entry is prohibited, as there is a risk of collapse.
