Wikipedra

This application will allow you to discover more than 35,000 dry stone buildings in Catalonia and the French departments of Ariège and the Pyrénées-Orientales. You will also be able to catalog new ones in a quick, simple and intuitive way and be part of the more than 600 collaborators who collaborate in the inventory.

Wikipedra is a collaborative project developed by the Landscape Observatory of Catalonia with the collaboration of the Drac Verd association, among other entities that safeguard the heritage of dry stone, in order to promote a common inventory of these buildings.

The creation of this App was part of the COL·LABORAxPAISATGE cooperation project Rural development through landscape and citizen collaboration (dry stone constructions) subsidized by the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food of the Generalitat of Catalonia within the framework of the Catalan Cooperation Grants between Local Action Groups and co-financed by the EAFRD. The app is currently managed by the Landscape Observatory as part of the Wikipedra project.

The COL·LABORAxPAISATGE project, completed in 2022, aimed to highlight the landscape heritage of traditional dry stone architecture as a predominant and identifying element of much of the rural landscapes of Catalonia and other areas close to the Mediterranean, with the strategic objective of giving value to these constructions and their landscape as a means of promoting rural development with the collaboration of citizens and civil society. It was coordinated by the Association for the Integral Rural Development of the North-Eastern Zone of Catalonia (ADRINOC) with the advice and technical support of the Landscape Observatory of Catalonia, and was attended by the Leader Rural Development Consortium of the Camp, the Consortium for the Development of Baix Ebre and Montsià, the Leader Association of Ponent and the Inter-Regional Consortium of Socio-Economic Initiatives Ribera d'Ebre - Terra Alta, and has the collaboration of the Association for Dry Stone and Traditional Architecture.
