What is dry stone (pedra seca) construction?
Pedra seca is a construction technique that does not use any kind of binder or lime mortar to join the stones. The 18th and 19th centuries are considered the golden age of dry stone construction when this trade was developed to organize the landscape and the land for agriculture.
