It was in the Neolithic when the first constructions began to be built on Puig Campana. As soon as we stopped being hunter-gatherers and became sedentary, what would later be known as popular architecture began, which was done with the dry stone technique. Undoubtedly, the terraced was its maximum expression and is what most characterizes the farmland of this municipality of the Marina Baixa and the province of Alicante in general. On November 28, 2018, UNESCO declared this technique as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

It is not very well known what was the origin of the terrace, that is, to create balconies to turn the slopes into agricultural areas, but it is known that the Arabs and, after them, the first Christian settlers who inhabited these lands after the Reconquest, promoted its creation. The demographic growth that took place between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries coincided with a period of expansion of these balconies to cover the food needs of the population. Today they can be seen, but they are in disuse.

The stone was extracted from the environment, which was cleaned to make it suitable for cultivation. To facilitate access from one terrace to another, earth ramps were made, so that pack animals could pass. The passage of people from one plot to another could be done through stairs built on the margin itself. To do this, they used large flattened and fitted stones, which came out a hand's breadth from the margin wall.

The stone was transported by the farmers themselves with baskets, with cavalry animals and even with their hands if necessary. They were broken, retouched and fitted with a mallet, that is, a hammer that had one flat face and the other with a point and a chisel. On many occasions, the edges were picked up with the hands and not retouched, being placed directly in the margins. The constructions consisted of placing stone on stone.

Usually, it was the farmers or shepherds themselves who were in charge of making constructions with dry stone. They built shelters to shelter from inclement weather, such as rain, snow or wind; walls of corrals to give shelter to livestock; roads where you can circulate; cisterns to store water and wells to deposit snow and turn it into ice, among others.
The trade of margener was vocational and artisanal, of family tradition. There was the figure of the master margener who could have groups of operators, generally made up of two or three people. Nowadays there are few workers who know the dry stone technique.
