    36 cents. The Farga Rossell*

    Additional:

    *The Farga Rossell from 1842 was one of the last active forges in Andorra and is now a living example of Andorra’s preindustrial heritage.

    The Farga Rossell, a completely restored forge converted into an Iron Interpretation Centre will use an audio-visual to show us how the process of transforming mineral iron into ingots occurs and the importance of metallurgy in Andorra in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After the tour we will also see the operation of the water driven hammer and how the ingots were formerly produced with the tools of the time.
