Green Stone Wall and Building in Liberta, Antigua

Most of the homes on the island are very small and built from wood with tin roofs. It is not uncommon to see them in various stages of disrepair. But an interesting feature can be seen among buildings in the town of Liberta. Notice the retaining wall constructed from basaltic green-stone. This material has volcanic origins and is unique to the southern districts of Antigua. Behind is a structure with an elaborate arch made from the same stone.
