Arca do Barbanza
This tomb is the greatest cult of death of it's time

 

The tombs are the highest expression that came to us from the first producing societies, who decided to build robust buildings to welcome the eternal rest of the members of those communities that perished. Perhaps one of the most outstanding examples is the Arca do Barbanza, located in the vicinity of the middle course of Rio Barbanza, it is maintained in relative good state of conservation, appreciating the chamber or dolmen that is formed by huge slabs of granite, some of them Exceeds 7 tons of weight. It was a colossal work for the time suggesting that they were communities with great capacities, not only constructive but also social cohesion that facilitated the construction of magnificent examples of megalithism (mega = great, lithos = stone).
