A land of contrasts, the uniqueness of the Mina de S. Domingos location does not leave anyone passing by indifferently. The mining area of São Domingos, inserted in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, was since antiquity a sought after place for the extraction of ores, with evidence of gold, silver and copper extraction works in the pre-Roman and Roman period. It is the period of modern exploration that dictates the importance and historical legacy of the S. Domingos Mine. In an intensive extraction activity that took place over more than a century (1854-1966), the British company Mason & Barry extracted more than 20 million tons of ore (copper, zinc, lead and sulfur).
The S. Domingos Mine was even the largest Portuguese mining operation until the 1930s, with a workforce of over a thousand workers until close to its closure. The Mine brought to the village a level of development far above that experienced in the rest of the country. Here, for example, one of the first railway lines was built, to connect the Mine and the old river port in Pomarão, which allowed the flow of ore through the Guadiana River. The first power plant in Alentejo was also built. And sustained by mining activity, there was a dynamic, modern local society with access to various services, such as a movie theater or a hospital. The end of the exploration, together with the absence of adequate rehabilitation after the closure of the exploration, as well as the abandonment and subsequent vandalization of the remaining heritage, dictated the progressive decay of the territory, consummated in the population exodus, in the ruin and in the enormous environmental liabilities of the entire former mining area. Today, the development strategy is oriented towards the search for solutions to environmental problems and towards the safeguarding of the mining heritage.
On June 3, 2013, the mining complex of Mina de S. Domingos was classified by Portuguese law as a “Public Interest Complex” and, today, the urban area and the former industrial complex are part of a circuit of visits that evokes the history and the living memory of the many people who lived and worked here. One of the visitors and writer Jorge Estevão said of this place: "I experienced in São Domingos, live, the same or similar to what I saw in the documentary “Where the river runs red” from Queenstown Mines, Tasmania. The same images of abandonment, unemployment, pollution, environmental disaster. In a sentence: the way in which a mine should not be closed after the end of exploratory activities."
Is this where we're headed? The total exploration, devastation and abandonment of Nature? The utter disrespect of the environment? To a complete and irreversible Nothingness.
