Tips
Tholos-stone hut. Tholos is a structure resembling a stone igloo. It was a temporary mountain quarters for shepherds, providing them with shelter while grazing cattle and sheep. It owes its origin to farmers who removed stones from the fields to be able to cultivate their land. Thus, large piles of stones were created, which over time were used as building materials. These piles of boulders represent an important piece of history related to the life of man in the mountains and pastoral activities in general. Stone huts or their ruins can be observed in many areas of Abruzzo, but the greatest concentration is in the area of Majella (Abbateggio, Roccamorice).
