A very well preserved pigeon house. Pigeons were very popular and great efforts were made to protect pigeons from rats.
The construction of the 4 pillars is very interesting. The fungal pads made it impossible for the rats to get in and eat the pigeons' eggs.

Hiking
On the Way of St. James in Spain you can occasionally see similar constructions, which, however, do not represent pigeon houses, but used to serve as granaries. The essential detail of these buildings - standing on stilts - is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped end at the top of the supporting columns. This was of vital importance in ancient times, as they represent an insurmountable obstacle for voracious rodents such as mice or rats.
