Music

Most peasant homes were simple huts, sometimes lacking chimneys, where smoke escaped through roof openings, while wealthier households used tile stoves and fireplaces for heating. Many poorer people lived in houses where they shared space with their animals, or in primitive earthen dwellings after wartime destruction.
