Yacimiento arqueológico de Cuyacabras, Medieval necropolis in Quintanar de la Sierra, Spain.
The archaeological site contains 183 documented tombs distributed around a church, carved into sandstone rock formations in a pine forest.
Between 1969 and 1971, Professor Alberto del Castillo conducted excavations that revealed a significant burial ground dating from the 9th to 13th centuries.
The tombs face west, following medieval Christian burial practices, and include anthropomorphic graves, bathtub-shaped tombs, and lateral niches for different social classes.
The site lies 4 kilometers from Quintanar de la Sierra, accessible through a dirt track from the camping site road via a marked hiking path.
The archaeological remains include imprints of a rectangular church structure and evidence of settlement activities indicating medieval agricultural and pastoral life.
