cobblestones
Old road surface
Cobblestones are rounded stones used to pave streets and walkways, fitted together to create a durable surface.
The term evokes old European city centers and historic districts: We walked along the cobblestone streets of Prague.
Cobblestone roads are charming but notoriously rough on feet, wheels, and suspensions.
