CASA PORFIDO aims at documenting, giving value and popularizing the various skills involved in the quarrying of porphyry.
One of the striking characteristics of this museum is the harmony between tradition and ultra-modern multimedia tools. In an interactive setting, visitors can discover at first hand the ancient history of porphyry quarrying and learn more about he local socio-economic fabric.
They can also watch historical films/documentaries and marvel at the age-old skill of porphyry stone cutting as well as at the incredible amount of precision required when laying porphyry.
