Abstract

Adobe construction is very common in Portugal. Pinhal Novo parish is estimated to have more than 200 dwellings made of adobe masonry, all built in the early 20th century. Most of them are now in ruins, but some still remain in use. Through the years people have been making some refurbishment to improve their living conditions and comfort. Some interventions contributed to increase the durability of the dwellings. This study intends to present the Caramela’s culture, how it came about in this particular region and its dwellings characteristics addressing the building technology, materials used, built elements and structure composition. It started with the work developed by the Museum of Palmela County and a study performed in 2008 by an architect, it has been updated this current year (2017) and is mainly based on oral sources and in situ survey.
