Lo tangible y lo intangible: fragmentos de memoria en el paisaje minero: el caso de la mina de Amiantos en Chipre

Abstract

Mining landscapes, for being testimony of the human activity related to the exploitation of mineral resources, they frequently present heritage features. The traces of the past concentrated in such places, whether tangible or intangible, generate an increasing interest on their preservation and revaluation. In this work it is studied the mine of Amiantos, in the island of Cyprus, which due to its adverse impacts on the environment and human health causes rejection and abandonment. Through an analysis of its evolution and identifying its constitutive elements, it is aimed to rediscover the identity of this territory, a guiding thread that could recover the story of its past looking towards a new future.
