cobblestone
Old road paver
A cobblestone is a naturally rounded stone used for paving roads and walkways, common in European cities before modern asphalt.
The stones fit together to create durable but uneven surfaces: The carriage rattled over the cobblestones.
Cobblestoned streets evoke historic charm or, for cyclists and pedestrians, an ankle-twisting nuisance.
