Ciüs

We are standing here in front of „Ciüs“, which is surrounded by protective walls. It covers around 10 acres.

The amount of work involved in the creation was enormous. Per square metre of cultivated area on average 1.2 tonnes of stone had to be built into walls, and this was done exclusively with human labour.

Cereal cultivation in the narrow mountain valley is only promising if the microclimatic conditions are favourable. Within the boundaries of the municipality of Cauco, we find particularly ideal conditions in this respect under the rock face above Lasciallo.
