Mining activity has been main human activity since ancient times, contributing to economic and cultural development of human society. However, it is also an activity that has a significant impact in the natural environment, causing a series of effects, whether reversible or not, leading to the degradation of the area and the visual alteration of the landscape. Such impacts can be anticipated and dealt with by organizing and planning a landscape restoration study.This thesis attempts to approach the issue of reconfiguration and restoration of a quarry landscape. The proposal includes the Phyto-technical rehabilitation of the quarry steps using appropriate plant species and the use of the quarry square through of creation of a botanical garden. The main objectives are the environmental restoration of the area and its reintegration into the natural environment, the smooth aesthetic and functional integration of the site into the landscape and the re-use of the site by the people directly associated with it.The proposed restoration plan is accompanied by a plan of the general organization of the site in 2 different scales and by images - views from the 3D model of the proposal, aiming at the best possible representation of the final form of the site.
