Perticara
The area dates from the protohistoric, Etruscan and Roman periods. Now disused, the mine where sulphur was extracted has left an indelible mark on the local community, a fact testified by the nearby village of Miniera and the large mining history museum Sulphur where a wealth of exhibits are housed in an unusual setting.
