Drystone: know-how and heritage

"Cortal" - Taurinya (1)

At the behest of the municipality of Taurinya, the restoration of the first room of this sheepfold, which has four, began in mid-April. The Foundation for Heritage and the Canigou Grand Site are involved.

The dimensions of this structure located near the Col des Millères and the large size of each stone used for the assembly make it an exceptional work.

The first phase of this project saw the participation of members of the Catalan builders and Languedocian builders.

The 2nd phase is scheduled for mid-June. (Trad.IA)
