The aim of this paper is showing the existence and characteristics of the historical quarries where the building stones were extracted for the construction of the Architectural Heritage of San Ciprián. It is a small town in the north of Lugo (Galicia, NW of Spain) with a long tradition in the use of the natural stone as building material in its architectural heritage. In addition to the benefits in the historical, socio-economic and industrial knowledge, the location of historical quarries is a fundamental task for the conservation plans, allowing to define the original state of the building stone. Moreover, they provide a new contribution to the regional tourist development, including their location and description in the cultural and environmental touristic routes.
This study reveals the existence and characteristics of the signs of operation located in the historical quarries associated with the Architectural Heritage of San Ciprián, although in some cases this quarries have disappeared partially or totally.
The areas located are: Porto de Riba, Figueiras, Area of the estuary and Lieiro quarry; we cannot affirm the existence of other areas under new constructions, especially in the Porto de Riba and Figueiras.
