Are
usually structural walls made of wood and stone masonry.
This type of walls usually have important
structural functions in an old building, due to their special organization.
Even though they do not receive direct vertical

structures, as they join the walls, floors and coverings, capital for
the global resistence capacity of the building during an earthquake, dissipating
its energy.
Due to their importance, wooden framework
walls are a very special example of division walls and as we can find
them all through the country they characterise the whole of the Marquis
