Description

Horno de Cal are fascinating lime kilns in Fuerteventura, operating from the 16th to the mid-20th century. They were a key part of the island's economy, producing lime for construction and industrial purposes.

Different types of kilns can be seen on the island: round caleras used for domestic purposes and rectangular high-capacity industrial kilns. Of particular interest are the kilns at Ajuy - unique structures dug into the ground 12 meters deep.

This is a great place for lovers of history and industrial archaeology, offering a glimpse into Fuerteventura's industrial past.
