Mineral de Pozos

Mina y antigua Hacienda de los Cinco SeñoresEl auge minero del pueblo comenzó a gestarse a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, y para 1880 Mineral de Pozos ya era un lugar reconocido a nível regional y estatal por su gran producción. Un buen número de compañías nacionales y extranjeras invirtirieron grandes cantidades de dinero para extraer la variedad de metales que la tierra ofrecía. Se crearon entonces haciendas que servían como respaldo para la minas.Una de las haciendas más prolíficas era la Hacienda de los Cinco Señores, la cual poseía minas como La Joya, Nayalito y Justicia. El nombre que recibe se debe a que, en 1889, año de su construcción, cinco empresarios europeos reunieron su capital para explotar el área. En poco tiempo tomó el liderazgo y se convirtió en una de las más productivas de la zona. Además, no sólo estaba dedicada a la extracción de metales como el oro y la plata, sino que ahí mismo éstos eran preparados para enviarlos directamente a alguna acuñadora cercana o hasta la ciudad de México. Actualmente, la Hacienda de los Cinco Señores, conformada por las ruinas de los edificios que en otro momento gozaron de esplendor, se convirtió en uno de los lugares turísticos más visitados de Mineral de Pozos, pues, además de su pasado histórico y su impresionante

arquitectura, posee la fama de ser un lugar místico en el que algunos aseguran la aparición de niños jugando en el patio principal durante la madrugada y otros sucesos inexplicables. Sin embargo, para artistas plásticos, escritores y
hasta historiadores constituye un espacio que deja fluir la imaginación y la creatividad.
