The stone masons were the architects of our rich heritage. Houses, churches, stone crosses are good examples of their art. They prepared the rock to be used for construction, cutting and shaping blocks of stone and granite. Working with slate, was much easier and only required the use of a pick and stoning hammer..
Their work often took them far away from their homeland , a situation which gave rise to a need to create bonds of fellowship within their group and which led to the development of their own argot named “dos arxinas, which was used to communicate between themselves.
