Between 2007 and 2011 the House of coin in Segovia was subjected to a multidisciplinary study in which archaeology played an important role in reconstructing the historical evolution of the mint over its 300 years of existence and in recovering this unique space through an ambitious rehabilitation project. The size of the preserved remains, the results of the excavations and the documentary evidence have made it possible to learn about the technologies used, the manufacturing processes, the organisation of work and, in short, the evolution of the House of coin in Segovia as one of the best preserved production complexes dedicated to the production of coins.
