The Mina Valenciana 1791 Museum is located approximately 6 kilometers from the historic center of Guanajuato and is centered around the La Valenciana Mine, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Silver began to be exploited in the city in the sixteenth century, and its extraction was so plentiful that its production was equivalent to two-thirds of the total obtained from this metal in all of New Spain, and this is what you will learn about in this distinguished museum.
