Description

Short description
This tunnel connects the San Teodoro shaft with the San Aquilino shaft. It has a length of approximately 100 metres and a cross-section varying around 4m2. Initially it had to be all in rock, but nowadays it displays an 18th century stretch covered with masonry walls and brick arches. Other tunnels branch off this tunnel that were made for the research and collection of some minerals.
