| Sumario: | [EN] Piornedo is a small village located in the Lugo area of Os Ancares. It is located at 1,100 m of altitude. Currently the weather has softened but years ago it was much more severe. In these lands, “palloza” was for centuries the common way of living. It´s a house with a rounded floor plan, in which stands out its large conical thatched roof. It is an agricultural-livestock production cell. In addition to the granaries, the first buildings clearly differentiated from the “pallozas” that would appear in Piornedo are the called "cuartos", probably in the 19th century. These are simple constructions, with a small square plan and slate roof. They are located next to the “palloza” to which they are linked; within the enclosure of the era, or in a nearby, unbounded space. The origin of these buildings would be to be used as bedrooms, thus separating them from the animals, in a more "hygienic" room. We imagine that it would be a sign of a certain status, seeking to improve living conditions, and for this, a new building type, alien to the town itself, is taken as a model. The result was unexpected: “palloza” would emerge triumphant from this confrontation. |
