Spain, Galicia, Ourense province, Ribadavia. Early Middle Ages Necropolis (8th-9th centuries). Anthropomorphic tombs, with horseshoe heads, dug in stone inside the Sarmiento Castle enclosure. The existence of this necropolis is due to the disappeared church of San Ginés, the oldest parish in the village.
