    Tips

    "La Cava Gran de Agres” is a historic snow collection point and was formerly used as a refrigerator to store snow that was later used as ice. In winter, snow was filled into the pit and compacted to later be used as ice blocks. The upper arches supported a roof that protected the snow from the sun. In summer, the stored snow was cut into blocks and transported to the towns by pack animals.

    Ice was of great importance at the time for food preservation and medicinal purposes. The architecture of the Cava is characterized by massive stone walls and a domed roof, which is now partially in ruins. The building is an important testimony to the traditional methods of preservation and logistics in the region.

      Refrigerator formerly used to store and maintain snow for the production and sale of ice between the 17th and 19th centuries. Today you can visit the ruins and appreciate the wonderful engineering of those times.
