San Lorenzo at Kreas is an ancient mining site in the heart of the “gold district” of Alagna Valsesia. Inside, the large millstones used to crush the gold-bearing ore extracted from local mines can still be seen. This complex represents a valuable testimony to the history of gold mining on Monte Rosa, one of the most important in the Western Alps.
