Capilla y necrópolis de San Victor de Barxacova

The archaeological complex contains numerous anthropomorphic tombs carved into rock, arranged in northern and southern sectors on different elevation levels.

The necropolis dates from the 9th and 10th centuries, with the chapel constructed later and remaining active until its destruction in the 19th century.

The tombs follow an east-west orientation, where bodies were wrapped in shrouds and covered with stone slabs according to medieval burial practices.

The site requires navigation through the OU-0605 road from Plaza del Campo da Feira, followed by a path leading to the archaeological remains.

One notable tomb in the northern sector measures 2.5 meters in length, indicating an extension created by connecting multiple burial spaces.
