WARNING
The Chapel of the Holy Cross
Was created in gratitude for the miraculous rescue of the mine during a dangerous leak of underground water in the middle of the nineteenth century. Although the chamber itself was created at that moment, the statues of saints found in it are almost two hundred years older. Sacred objects accompanied the miners in their work and "travelled" along with them: moving from one job to another, the miners often brought the decor of the chapels with them.
