An eighteenth-century granary transformed into landscape: 34.76 metres of granite, agricultural memory and Atlantic wind in Santa Comba de Carnota.
It is not simply a long granary. It is a precise response to Atlantic damp, a measure of harvest and a monumental piece within a religious and agricultural ensemble.
The raised chamber protects grain from damp ground and animals; horizontal slots keep air moving through the store.
Church, rectory, dovecote, threshing floor and hórreo reveal how an eighteenth-century rural parish was organised.
