The 'lime kilns' are impressive historical constructions. They were built in semi-cylindrical pits with funnel-shaped towers and built with carefully carved limestone. During the manufacturing process, the oven was divided into two levels, the door was walled up with refractory bricks, and the filling was done with stepped limestones. During the burning process, fagots were inserted through a mouth hole and the ashes were periodically removed. A lime kiln could produce an average of 250 quintals of slaked lime per year, with 1 quintal of wood needed for 1 quintal of lime. This artisanal method was of great importance to the local community and found diverse uses, from mortar making to disinfection.
