The Montegranatico, officially established in 1761 in order to support local agriculture through the conservation and distribution of seeds, based its livelihood on the free labor of peasants, who devoted a varying number of working days (the roadies) to the cultivation of common lands. Part of the harvest was then stored as seed for distribution the following year. The building is constructed with unfired earth bricks (ladiri). The roofing attic is made of trusses, wooden warping and planking, and Sardinian roof tile type tiles. In the same street, along the cobblestones (imperdau), we also note the presence of the old town market lodges, the so-called Is Postus, and the “Grain Monument,” a work inspired by agriculture by Serramannese artist Antonio Ledda.
