Espigueiros de Soajo, Stone granaries in Soajo, Portugal.

The group consists of 24 granite granaries arranged on a natural stone platform, forming a communal threshing yard in northern Portugal.

The oldest granary dates back to 1782, and the entire complex received official recognition as a Property of Public Interest in 1983.

These granaries represent traditional agricultural methods, where families stored their corn and grains protected by stone structures with crosses on top.

The granaries remain functional today, with local residents using them to store agricultural products following centuries-old preservation techniques.

Each granary displays carved inscriptions indicating construction dates and family ownership, reflecting the social structure of past rural communities.
