What are we going to do:
Underground Loulé, at 230m deep, discover the Art Exhibition, dedicated to Saint Barbara, Patroness of Miners and other Arts.
In a labyrinth of galleries you will discover a vast collection of art made up of sculptures, paintings and religious utensils linked to the cult of Saint Barbara celebrated worldwide on December 4th.
The pieces on display, some hundreds of years old, are impressive for their size and the techniques used in their construction.
In a current perspective, the collection is complemented by the integration of the History of Saint Barbara narrated in the visualization of 12 paintings by the contemporary artist Klaüs Zylla. These paintings were created in an artistic house, in the Algarve, during the first four months of 2022.
