Discovering the historic quarries of Prun

In the heart between Lessinia and Valpolicella, just a few steps from the village of Prun, lies a precious and often unknown heritage: the historic tunnel quarries, known as ‘Le Preare’. An underground labyrinth that guards centuries of history, culture and human endeavour, today the protagonist of an exciting journey of rediscovery and enhancement.

Leading this rebirth is the La Malga O.D.V. Association, which has been committed to the recovery of this unique site for years. Thanks to their commitment, it is possible to participate in an engaging and educational guided tour, designed for groups of at least 10 participants.

The visit to the Prun quarries is much more than a simple excursion: it is a true journey through time, among the geological secrets of Lessinia stone and the stories of the men who worked it.

Through the tales of the expert and passionate guides, you will be able to:

• Discover the natural formation of the local stone and its use over time;
• Learn about the history of Prun, nestled between two fascinating areas such as Lessinia and Valpolicella;
• Explore traditional quarrying techniques up close;
• Admire the tools of the trade used over the centuries;
• Be thrilled by a film with period images, which gives back the voice and face of an ancient and fascinating job.
• All this in an evocative setting, with safety guaranteed by the use of a helmet provided by the organisation.

Services included: guided tour, use of helmet, viewing of the film, free parking
This experience is ideal for history and geology enthusiasts, curious hikers and school groups. A rare opportunity to get in touch with an authentic part of our local heritage, which deserves to be seen, known and passed on.
