Necrópole de São Gens e Penedo do Sino
This is an ancient cemetery with four types of tombs: bathtub-shaped, triangular, anthropomorphic, and carved into movable stones. Near these graves is the Penedo do Sino, a pedunculated granite block, shaped by weathering, and well-known for its strange and beautiful balance. This site was occupied between the 1st and 2nd centuries and later between the 12th and 13th centuries, although it is believed that this necropolis dates from the 6th to the 14th centuries.
