Abstract
Abstract Piedra Pajarilla is the local name under which the Martinamor granite was known when it was quarried during the 19th century. It is a leucogranite of Hercynian age, and here we present its formal nomination as a ‘Global Heritage Stone Resource’. Piedra Pajarilla fits the proposed designation because it has been used for centuries in the construction of major historical and famous buildings in Salamanca, leading the city to being included in the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1988. Piedra Pajarilla is no longer quarried, and this nomination will help to maintain the historical quarry for the restoration of the monuments if blocks need to be replaced.
