The adobe dovecotes of Matallana

Curiosity · Villalba de los Alcores, Montes Torozos, Valladolid

Image of Villalba de los Alcores, not of the place itself.

In the grounds of Matallana two dovecotes have been restored, one circular and one square, examples of the most characteristic construction of the Torozos: adobe walls that hide an inner courtyard lined with nesting boxes, topped by brick cornices.
