Wattle-and-Daub Roof Structure

This 18th-c. exposed wooden ceiling showcases a traditional roof structure using hand-hewn beams arranged in a radial pattern. Typical of colonial-era homes in the New Kingdom of Granada, such roofs combined Indigenous construction knowledge with Spanish techniques, offering strength, ventilation, and aesthetic harmony with local materials.
