The lime kilns are evidence of a traditional activity that remained active until the middle of the 20th century. They are cylindrical stone structures that are usually partially buried or attached to a slope. They have a mouth at the bottom to light the fire and feed it.
Lime kilns are constructions used for the transformation of limestone into lime. This was achieved by exposing the stones to very high temperatures in these ovens for more than 24 hours. After 24-48 hours, the kiln was uncovered and the stones had turned white and were ready to be crushed to obtain lime.
Lime is a very versatile product, traditionally used to paint houses but also an excellent building material for making mortar, insulating and waterproofing, as well as being a very powerful antifungal agent.
