Junas is famous for its old stone quarries. Ever since the middle ages, the quarrymen have patiently extracted the material needed to build houses. The quarry with its dramatic cuts and different levels provides a sumptuous “amphitheatre” setting for cultural events during the summer season. Every July, stone cutters meet to create works of art which now stand all over the town, beautiful creations that speak to the talent of these men.
The belfry from every church in this region is "open" rather than closed to allow the strong Mistral winds to blow through rather than against the structure.
