The Mountain Created by Destruction

A single photo on Google Maps brought us to Las Médulas, but nothing prepared us for the scale of the reality. Tucked away in Northwest Spain, this isn't a natural wonder—it’s an ancient industrial scar nature has been trying to hide for 2,000 years. You’re not looking at mountains. You’re looking at a void. Two thousand years ago, the Roman Empire turned this valley into its largest gold mine. Using a technique called ruina montium (the "Water Hammer"), they dismantled entire peaks from the inside out. In this video, we explore the fairytale forests, the unstable mining caves, and the fresh scars of the 2025 wildfire to see if this place is still a marvel—or just a monument to what was lost. In this video: The Fairytale Forest: Hiking through 2,000-year-old chestnut groves. The Roman Machine: How the "Water Hammer" popped a mountain. The Void: Visualizing the 100 million cubic meters of missing earth. The Fire: Seeing the 2025 scar on top of the ancient history. #LasMedulas #SpainTravel #RomanEmpire #HiddenEurope #VanLifeSpain #AbandonedHistory
