Casa Lo de Cartas

Building set consisting of four modules, of a plant with sloping roof of two and four waters.
They are constructions made with rough stone with large ashlars crossed in the corners to give resistance to these, filled with rubble and collected with mud inside, and plastered in with lime mortars.
The housing module consists of two parts that, at the beginning, were probably independent, although they are currently joined, by a new construction made by its rear. The facade has a total of seven openings, placed randomly on the facade, which indicates the approximate dating of the property.
Attached to these modules there is a winery that maintains all its own characteristics, covered by a two-water roof.
At the entrance of the property there is a module that may be to the place to store the animals of travelers who will pass through the property, as well as the animals of the mountains given their location in the access of the property.
