Museu da Mina de Algares documents Alentejo’s mining heritage — surface headframes, workshops, preserved machinery and mine shafts that photograph as gritty industrial subjects. Shoot textures, rust, structural lines and contextual village/landscape views. Best light is early morning or late afternoon for warm side-light and long shadows; overcast works for even texture detail. Guided visits may allow access into exhibition halls or shaft edges — check opening hours and buy tickets in advance. A
