Barracas, Spanish for barracks, are traditional, thick-walled houses of Valencia, Spain made of sticks and clay. They frequently have crosses at the apex of the gables and centered religious iconography above the front door. The structures are frequently, though not always, gable-front houses, meaning the principle facade of the house is on the gabled end.
