Miner's House.

Reconstitution of a miner's house: a small single room for everything, one door and no windows - only with a chronic disease the miner was allowed to open a window. The mine was closed in 1966. This house is located at Saint Barbara Street, Mina de São Domingos.

Brick pavement.

Although it's perfectly flat, it appears to have longitudinal ups and downs. It can be seen in the garden of Alentejo Star Hotel, an adaptation of the palace of the mine's administration, at Dr. Vargas Street, Mina de São Domingos.
