Valencian Trinquet
Valencian trinquet, or simply trinquet (), is the court used in the Valencian Community for two different modalities of Valencian pilota: the Escala i corda and the Raspall. Court Trinquets are closed rooms of variable size: from 8.5–11 m wide and 45–60 m long. The short walls are called "frontons", and the long are the "muralles", 4–6 m high. The ball may bounce at them as many times as desired. On the ''frontons'' there are usually seats for the spectators, these are called the "galleries". And sometimes on the ''muralles'', too. There are also stairs (''escales'' in Valencian) built on one of the ''muralles''. Spectators may seat on them as well at their own risk. The ball is played many times on them since the stairs (and bodies of the people) may cause fast and unexpected bounces. The court is divided in two midfields, the "dau" and the "rest". On the corner of the "dau" ''frontó'' and the stairs there is a square draw on the ground, it's the dau (''dice'' in Val ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
