RURAL HERITAGE
We recover and preserve our common heritage
The rural world has a strong material and immaterial identity that we want to keep alive and functional. Its origins, intertwined with nature, are an extension of it. Recovering and conserving rural heritage, in its many forms, means ensuring a present and future where communities and the environment form a cohesive, balanced, authentic and developed whole.
TRADITIONAL VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE
We restore and preserve traditional vernacular architecture that is intrinsically linked to the nature, culture, traditions and ways of life of rural communities. Built to serve those who live off the land, they fulfil a social, economic and ecological function. We preserve them in order to revitalise and develop rural areas in harmony with the environment.
TRADITIONAL CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES
We promote training and the gathering of local knowledge about traditional construction techniques that have been developed over centuries in harmony with the environment and offer ecological solutions for building and maintaining the landscape. We pass on the knowledge that keeps the authenticity and sustainability of the territory alive and functional.
ARCHAEOLOGY
We develop collaborative projects in the field of archaeology, actively contributing to the discovery and preservation of ancestral material and immaterial heritage.
Castro de São João das Arribas
We collaborated with the "Research Project on the Castro de São João das Arribas" of the Municipality of Miranda do Douro, which carried out excavations and archaeological studies in this fortified settlement in Aldeia Nova and discovered unprecedented data on the Romanisation and human occupation of the Mirandese Plateau.
Musealisation of the "Roman House"
The project to turn the "Roman House" area in Picote into a museum, developed by the Municipality of Miranda do Douro and the Parish Council of Picote, is being carried out in partnership with Palombar. A fortified settlement from the Iron Age, later Romanised, was discovered in this village, which is to be turned into a museum.
