- Museum
Located in Pardiñas, 1 km from the capital of the council, the museum of the Cutlery offers the possibility of approaching the most representative trade of the council of Taramundi: the navalleiros.
For this purpose, inside an old traditional building, a history room has been installed, another room where the techniques used for the production of cutlery are explained, as well as two rooms containing a collection of knives, knives and scissors from Taramundi and the rest of the region. In an adjoining building, which was used by the former owners as a forge and carpentry workshop, a cellar or traditional cutlery workshop set in the first half of the twentieth century has been installed.
The Museum is located in the itinerary of the route of the ironworkers, which brings the visitor to know villages and spaces directly related to this trade, so it is an appropriate complement to correctly interpret the route of this route.

Yacimientos Arqueológicos “Os Castros”
- Taramundi
- Heritage
El yacimiento, conocido como Os Castros se localiza en la capital del concejo. Buena parte de su superficie se ha mantenido ajena al desarrollo urbano del municipio si bien la carretera que desciende hacia Mazonovo significó la destrucción algunas cabañas y parte de la muralla. En el año 2000 se iniciaron las excavaciones arqueológicas bajo patrocinio del Ayuntamiento de Taramundi, la Consejería de Cultura del Principado de Asturias y la meritoria colaboración de la asociación de hosteleros locales ANTURTA.

There are remains in the Oscos region that tell us that mining was an activity that was developed in the area since prehistoric times. Before the conquest of the Romans, the inhabitants of this region were already looking for gold nuggets in the river placers. But it was after the arrival of the Romans that this industry was boosted. In the Flavian period, at the beginning of the first century A.D., a first golden age was experienced. The castros (fortified settlements) resurged as a result of the exploitations and the landscape was dotted with small industries of which there are still remains such as: forges, function furnaces and samples of the technology that was used for the exploitation of the deposit.
