Necrópole de São Gens e Penedo do Sino

It is an ancient cemetery where there are four species of tombs: bathtub-shaped, triangular, and anthropomorphic dug in stone furniture. Near these graves, lies the Penedo Bell, a granite block pedunculated fond by weathering agents, well known for meeting a strange and beautiful balance.
This site was occupied between the centuries I and II and later between the 12th and 13th centuries, believing, however, that this necropolis date from the 6th century to the 14th century.
