BASIC INFORMATION

MUNICIPALITY: Taibon Agordino
ADDRESS: locality “Pesiere” (Peschiere)
GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES: 46.294722,11.985555
PROVINCE: Belluno

DESCRIPTION

The site can be reached by following the signs for the former “After hour” restaurant; proceed on the narrow winding road and the visitor will soon arrive at there.

Unfortunately the lime kiln is not perfectly preserved, as the fire flap and roughly a quarter of the circular masonry are missing. The main structure is, however, clearly visible.

Its total estimated capacity is approximately 23 cubic meters; 17 cubic metres thereof are reserved for the processed material, whereas 5 cubic meters are part of the fire chamber. The remaining capacity is made up of the separation vault between the fire chamber and the rock material.
