Cultural Landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana

The Cultural Landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana located on a sheer-sided mountain range parallel to the north-western coast of the island of Mallorca. Millennia of agriculture in an environment with scarce resources has transformed the terrain and displays an articulated network of devices for the management of water revolving around farming units of feudal origins. The landscape is marked by agricultural terraces and inter-connected water works - including water mills - as well as dry stone constructions and farms.

Le paysage culturel de la Serra de Tramuntana est situé sur une chaîne de montagnes aux versants abrupts se déployant le long de la côte nord-ouest de l'île de Majorque. Des millénaires d'agriculture dans un environnement offrant de maigres ressources ont transformé la morphologie du terrain et fourni un réseau articulé de dispositifs de gestion de l'eau desservant des exploitations agricoles d'origine féodale. Le bien se caractérise par une agriculture en terrasse et des structures hydrauliques interconnectées, notamment des moulins à eau, ainsi que des constructions en pierres sèches et des fermes.
