Although there is no such strict limitation, it is preferred that it be at least 30cm due to the stone wall construction technique and the shape of the stone brick.

Natural stone masonry is the most durable, strong and weather resistant, thanks to the natural durability of the material. Stone is recommended for buildings with high foot traffic, since it does not bend or dent.

To build an arch, you start with two low wall sections of equal height on either side of a gap that's the planned width of the arch. Then, use a wooden form, a half-circle cut in the desired curve of the final arch, as a support. Beginning at the wall edges, build up along the sides with wedge-shaped stones.

Keystone. The keystone is the most vital piece of the stone arch. It's the wedge-shaped piece that is located at the very apex of the arch.
