The Rio area is distinguished by a rich cultural heritage linked to its millennia-old history and, in particular, to its mining past, which has had a profound impact on the local identity. The historic village is characterised by religious architecture and mining sites that tell the story of the town’s evolution over time. The municipality is also home to museums and cultural venues that celebrate the memory of work, traditions and the landscape. A widespread heritage that brings together the history, art and identity of the Elban territory.
