What people build and transmit from generation to generation is intrinsically linked to the arts and crafts, as constructions are artifacts of history that mark a territory, its culture and its people. This is what is important to safeguard and keep alive. And this is exactly one of Palombar's missions: to preserve the constructed rural heritage and traditional construction techniques, ensuring the conservation of resources and transmission of knowledge, through a pedagogical and cooperative approach that results in the enrichment of individuals and energization of the rural world.
TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE:
Recovery of built rural heritage
Dovecotes, windmills, shanties, stone walls ... These are some of the elements that integrate rural architectural heritage of the Trás-os-Montes region and that, in addition to being built to serve the population needs, are also a haven for wildlife, thus contributing to the conservation and promotion of biodiversity. They are, therefore, icons of the rural world of high cultural, social, natural and ecological value that we want to recover and preserve.
Palombar promotes the recovery of traditional rural heritage constructions within our scope of actions, through projects which we partner or even as part of national and international volunteer initiatives. The organization has already recovered hundreds of traditional dovecotes, several meters of stone walls, a forge, a mill and a community oven throughout the region, almost always with volunteering or training.

TRADITIONAL CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES
Traditional construction techniques are the cornerstone of traditional constructed heritage and have been developed over centuries of experimentation and improvement. This unique heritage took shape in accordance with the surrounding natural environment and offers ecological solutions for the construction sector, currently marked by the use of synthetic and polluting materials, as well as by waste, which we wish to contest.
At present, there are also few repositories of this knowledge, so it is urgent to preserve and transmit the art of these techniques.
Palombar works with the use of stone (shale or granite) to build walls or small constructions, the use of wood for roofs, devices and furniture, preparation of land for the construction of adobe, mud, tile, tile or renders, the use of lime to make mortars, plasters or paintings and, finally, iron forging.
