See Derelict Industrial Plant, Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, Mexico
The French company El Boleo founded Santa Rosalia in 1884 and exploited copper mines there until they closed in 1954. Unlike many other mining sites, the industrial facilities which are located in the very middle of the town, were never dismantled. Of particular interest are the reverberatory furnace and the metallurgical converter, although they are currently not accessible by the public due to safety concerns. Old locomotives, mining equipment and machinery are visible everywhere. The main mining company offices (La dirección) have been converted into an industrial museum.
