Prologue By Toti Martinez De Lezea

Lamiak and Architecture

Basque popular imagination is filled with rich legends inhabited byfantastic magical beings; Lamiak, sea-lamiak amilamiak, laminakuak and a long catalog of similar names or callings, Spirits of the great Mother Goddess Amalur.among them, Lamiak, extraordinarily beautiful creatures, sometimes fall in love with men, and have often been associated with the construction of some cryptic structures AND architecture, like bridges and MANY a Church.

Constructions that are just about never fully finished, on the account of missing but a single stone, and yet they last throughout the centuries.
