Hórreo (Bajos )
Hórreo (Bajos )


El hórreo gallego es un tipo específico de hórreo de Galicia, una construcción de uso agrícola destinada a secar, curar y guardar el maíz y otros cereales antes de desgranarlos y molerlos.1 Consta de una cámara de almacenaje oblonga, estrecha y permeable al paso del aire, separada del suelo para evitar la entrada de humedad y animales.
El origen del término hórreo nos remite al latín horreum, que designaba a un edificio en el que se guardaban frutos del campo, especialmente el grano. La primera representación gráfica de un hórreo nos remonta hasta el siglo XIII, en las Cantigas de Santa María, atribuidas a Alfonso X el Sabio.
En sus inicios, el uso de los graneros aéreos en Galicia va unido al cultivo del mijo, que ya se practicaba en la cultura de los castros, cultivo que perduró durante la Edad Media y que fue posteriormente sustituido por el maíz a partir de su llegada a Europa en el siglo XVII.
The barn is a specific type Galician granary of Galicia, a building designed for agricultural use to dry, cure and store corn and other cereals before threshing and molerlos.1 comprises a storage chamber oblong, narrow, and permeable to the passage of air off the ground to prevent moisture penetration and animals.
The origin of the term barn Horreum us back to Latin, which appointed a building in which were kept off the field, especially grain. The first graphical representation of a barn goes back to the thirteenth century, the Cantigas de Santa Maria, attributed to Alfonso X the Wise.
In the beginning, the use of air barns in Galicia is linked to the cultivation of millet, which was practiced in the culture of the forts, which continued growing during the Middle Ages and was later replaced by maize from its arrival Europe in the seventeenth century.
