This book studies Las Médulas, a landscape formed by Roman gold-mining operations, considered the largest open-cast gold mine in the Roman Empire. It explains how extraction transformed the environment, creating reddish sands covered with chestnut and oak trees, and analyses Roman engineering, the artificial plains and Lake Carucedo.

Aimed at readers interested in archaeology, Spanish history and cultural heritage.
