For centuries, the Lithica Quarry of s’Hostal provided the calcarenite building blocks for the traditional architecture on the island of Menorca, Spain.

The intensive use of the quarry led to the formation of a carved, sculptural landscape spanning 5 hectares of the island’s countryside. Since the mine’s closure in 1994, the Lithica Foundation initiated and managed a long-term sustainable redevelopment and restoration plan to transform the mine into a dynamic space for environmental, artistic, and cultural activities.
