The stones are materials that have a natural origin characterized by a high consistency. His principal advantages are: durability, adaptability to sculptural treatment and they can be used in his natural state.

One of the disciplines that we can do with stones is the stonework, is the art of work the stone for his employment in constructions.

The strongest stonework is the ashlar masonry that use regular cuts of blocks to put block on block to create a wall, for example. The structure of the stone is very important because the stone can resist deformations like no other material.

The stones can be use in different ways, for example in columns or post and like lintel. The properties of this material are very useful since stone age.
