La miniera dell'Argentiera, situata a circa 40 km da Sassari nel Nord Sardegna, è stata aperta nel 1840. La zona era ricca di argento e la piccola località viveva e prosperava grazie all'attività dei minatori. Furono scavate gallerie profonde oltre i 700 metri, ma la troppa vicinanza al mare fu causa di erosione delle rocce e crolli devastanti nei quali morirono tantissimi uomini. Si narra che le anime dei minatori che furono sepolti vivi, ancora adesso si aggirano tra quelle grotte. L'esaurimento dei giacimenti portò al progressivo abbandono del sito e  la miniera venne chiusa definitivamente nel 1963.
Attualmente nella zona sono in corso di realizzazione alcuni insediamenti turistici.

The mine of Argentiera, located about 40 km from Sassari in North Sardinia, was opened in 1840. The area was rich in silver and the small town thrived thanks to the work of the miners. Were dug deep tunnels over 700 meters, but it was too close to the sea and the erosion of the rocks caused  devastating crashes in which many men died. It is said that the souls of the miners who were buried alive, even now wander through those caves. The depletion of deposits led to the gradual abandonment of the site and the mine was finally closed in 1963.
Currently, some tourist facilities are being built in the area.
