Italian term
muratura a sacco
Italian to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
wall construction
I see this is already in the glossary but none of the answers satisfy me. What it seems here (construction of masonry towers and monuments) we have brick walls on the inside and outside plus a stone wall in between them. There must be a term for this in English. Any ideas? I can't seem to get a hand on it.

brick-faced or -veneered rubble core wall
clunky, but I think that's what it's called. the links are images rather than text, to see if they correspond to what you have.

Eileen, as I understand it there are or were 2 ways to approach the construction of this kind of wall: either you build 2 well-made, self-supporting brick or masonry walls and toss any old junk plus mortar in between to fill up the gap, meaning irregular bits of stone and a lot of mortar; or else you build a fairly solid stonewall (inverse ratio of stone and mortar) then put a thin, non-structural facing on either side.
