When we visit the village of Soajo we can find an amazing group of ingenious buildings
The so-called community threshing floor of Soajo has 24 granaries, although they are of different heights, one of the oldest is dated from 1782.
These granaries were used to dry corn. The walls of the granary have small traces for the circular air between the spikes, which are stacked in the interior and, at the top, have a small cross that shows the devotion of the populations and the request of divine protection for their crops. Even today some of these granaries are used by the local community.
