The Vicente Sos Baynat Geological and Mining Museum is located in the mining complex of the Costanaza mine and was created after it broke away from the former Logrosán Museum, now the Logrosán Archive. In the museum various collections of minerals can be observed, among which one didactic, another one of minerals of the world, one more of minerals of Extremadura and, of course, a specific collection of minerals of Logrosán.
