The village has a simple urban fabric, corresponding to an access that, at the beginning of the village, is divided into three small streets that cross it and meet at the exit through the access on the opposite side.
The predominant construction material is slate, with some buildings being plastered and the door lintels are generally made of oak or chestnut wood.
The houses built with slate blocks followed construction rules to ensure they were resistant to the elements and the passage of time.
The houses arranged in clusters include two floors: the first floor, the ground floor which should house the cattle and several groups of corrals or courts were built in the vicinity of each village.
The buildings were owned by the respective community house depending on the owner's wealth and power in cattle.
The second floor also functioned as a store, a storage area where cereals were stored, the butcher's shop with olive oil, the salting pan with pork, agricultural implements, a small cellar with barrels and vats for making wine.
