The combination of shale and slate is very interesting. Do you know if these materials were quarried directly near the village?

Thank U! 😊 Yes, traditionally the shale and slate used in the houses were quarried in the surrounding area, which was common in many villages. Using local stone made construction easier and helped give Quintandona its distinctive character.
