Drystone: know-how and heritage

Retaining wall- Ossèja

The old mortar-built wall was destroyed to be relocated. The reconstruction was initiated by municipal staff, some of whom had previously attended a "dry stone" training organized by the PNR of the Catalan Pyrenees.

A 2-day workshop (27-04 & 11-06), aimed at the "general public," almost completed the assembly of this wall, nearly 60 meters long and an average height of 1.30 meters. (Trad.IA)
