Rudabánya mine visitor centre
Rudabánya, once the center of Hungarian steel-mining industry in its heyday, is now a memento of the region’s history in heavy industry. The reddish landscape and turquoise colored lake is a rare spectacle that could fit in a sci-fi movie. The visitor centrer’s architecture reflects the decay: the massive, cantilevered steel truss is cladded with white rectangular panels, but already gapped, as if a number of them have fallen off over time.
