The dry stone walls, known in Catalan as "marges," consist simply of stones stacked on top of each other, without mortar or binding agents. They crisscross the island for miles. They are used as terraces on steep slopes, as field boundaries, to direct water in the Serra, or simply to remove stones from the ground. They often last for centuries; the oldest probably date back to the Moorish period (from the 10th century onwards), and many from the 17th to 19th centuries. The often-used term "pedra en sce" describes the construction method, which involves stacking stones without binding agents.

There are now renewed training projects, for example, from the "Escola de Margers," to preserve the craft. An experienced Marger can tell who built it by looking at the wall itself – each has its own style, almost like a signature.
