Casa sobre La Piedra, Historical monument in Puerto Ayacucho, Venezuela
The Casa sobre La Piedra spans 12 meters in length and 6 meters in width, constructed upon two granite rocks with metal sheets forming a gabled roof.
Cuban immigrant Juan Riverola Giralt constructed this residence in 1965, using local Amazonian wood, concrete, and metal tubes to create a solid structure.
The building contains four rooms that display photographs documenting the architectural evolution and social development of Puerto Ayacucho through different periods.
Visitors reach the house by climbing 74 steps that wind around the rocks, leading to observation points with views across the surrounding landscape.
The structure incorporates regional materials and adapts to the natural terrain, demonstrating early sustainable architecture principles in the Amazonas region.
