Despite its simple exterior, it is quite a complex structure as it was built using a Neolithic technique known as corbelling where stones are laid on top of each other to form an intricate and sturdy structure. A great deal of mysticism surrounds this structure and legend has it that whoever can exit the oratory through the small window will have their soul purified.
