A casteller builds castles and pillars not with any wooden beam or fired brick, but his own body. Each element of the costume serves a function. The black sash offers back support and also acts as a foothold for others to climb on. Biting down on the collar of a shirt prevents the fabric from wrinkling, which in turn prefers castellers on the upper tiers from slipping.
