I've never seen anything like this before, if you didn't say I'd never guess that they are granaries! Do you know how old they are?

Indeed :) In fact, these are quite peculiar and quite resistant :) according to the historical record, they were built between the 18th and 19th centuries, really well preserved for the years they already have :)
Thank you for stopping by, cheers :)
