    Carnota

    April 3, 2024 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 57 °F

    35 meters long, the largest horreo in Galicia. Built by the church. In Galicia, one can not destroy or take down a horreo in their own land. The stone circles at the base between the grain storage area and the columns are there to keep rats from coming up into the grain. People tithed 10 percent of their harvest to the church so the church had to build a bigger horreo.

    Largest beach in Galicia is nearby 7km, but no one swims here because riptide is dangerous.
