Situated in Sabero Valley, a prime natural location, the Castilla y León Museum of Metallurgy and Mining (MSM) is dedicated to all those individuals that contributed to the creation of Spain’s first metallurgical industry in the mid 19th century.

It is a mining research and educational centre created to study and promote knowledge of Castilla y León’s mining and metallurgical heritage, as well as acknowledging the work of the companies, workers and civil society that formed part of this sector.
