ABSTRACT
Europe still has an impressive exploitation potential of the man-made resources: historical salt mines, in the world. Some are important touristic destinations, but most of them can not be accesible for tourists because of hydro-geologics and geomechanics phenomena. The main objectives of the project proposal aim the old salt mines potential assessment and historical sites classification according to valorisation categories. To recover and convert these sites into touristic destinations, reinforcement new solutions for salt walls and monitoring and control systems are necessary, in order to assure salt pillar-ceiling strength structure and curative quality of underground salt air. It is also important to define an intergration system of the old salt mines into european touristic and tresaures house circuit, according to the communitary requirements.
