Noli Me Tangere Or How To Turn A House Into A Monument.

Casa de la Piedra, a handcrafted monument entirely made of stone from stone quarries in Porcuna (Jaén), rises on a side of Paseo de Jesús. The author of this work was the local quarry worker Antonio Aguilera Rueda. He devoted 29 years of his life to accomplish his creation. The house was made without any project, just with the logical knowledge developed by a person who worked in the field of stone quarrying.
