For decades, there has been an idea to build a statue of a worker in the Tounj quarry due to the 140 years of tradition and exploitation of technical building stone in Tounj. In the not-so-distant history, many of our fathers, grandfathers and relatives lost their lives doing this arduous work as miners-workers and rock-climbers on the quarry floor, climbing on ropes and placing explosives in the rock until there was no machinery for drilling stone, etc.
