setts

Setts are the rectangular paving stones, typically made of granite or other hard stone, used to surface streets and plazas.

They differ from cobblestones in being cut to uniform shapes rather than naturally rounded.

Many European city centers still feature original sett paving, prized for durability and historic character.
