Mont-Roig del Camp and Barracks Drywall

The overabundance stone forced farmers to work really hard to get the space needed to grow so they can extract from the earth's resources for their livelihood. And this need was born the culture of the stone, which is embodied in all construction elements that make up any part of our landscape, as are those barracks, tanks, fences, balconies and terraces margins, etc ... all the result of constant work and ingenuity of the agricultural world.

In Mont-Roig del Camp barracks are the type most characteristic and abundant shelter from the dry stone wrought. It is one of the municipalities of Catalonia with further proliferation of such buildings as it went beyond hundred. The dry stone barracks were built to meet the need for shelter, both people and cattle were loaded and shot their way of life in the countryside.

both were used to shelter from inclement weather and to rest at noon, for tools of the field, and even as a casual living in times of continuous work in the field. were perfectly studied to avoid the heat in summer and cold in winter because, mostly, are directed to the gateway to the solar noon, in order to maximize the sun's heat, while avoiding the northwest wind (the common in our area).

These huts of rustic beauty is perfectly integrated into our landscape, passing quite unnoticed. We can say that the construction blend aesthetics and functionality. Normally who raised the barracks were the peasants themselves, eventually become builders. The smaller barracks could have been built in one day, but the biggest could cost up to ten working days.

All have a variety of styles and shapes, with the majority in relatively good condition. At the end of Mont-Roig del Camp is currently classified 112 booths, all declared Cultural Asset Municipal Interest (February 2006). To make them know the City of Mont-Roig del Camp has published a brochure with an itinerary that suggests a visit to the barracks, 11, of various types and some of them quite spectacular. This itinerary is designed to traverse by car or bicycle mountain bike, but can also be done on foot.

Today, the agricultural utility lost from many lands and functionality of these barracks, landslides are constant because of the rains, the passage of cattle, the wind and the passage of time in general. It is a heritage not easy to maintain Fortunately, though sensitive people are to want to perpetuate a heritage that bears witness to the efforts of our ancestors, as is the case of Esther Bargalló and JM Martí Rom and his staff work toward this issue. It is noteworthy that in recent times there has been a change of attitude in our country and now is valued and respected is much more architectural heritage.
