    Tips

    It is a dialect word that originates from the fusion of "muròn" (large face) and riònd (round).
    Muriòn: big round face.
    The walls are formed as a result of selective erosion that tends to "preserve" the hardest and most compact sandstone blocks and to "consume" more of the more friable sandy sandstone.

      Very similar to the Ciciu di Villar, they look like large mushrooms with a stem made of earth and a stone cap
