Necrópole de São Gens e Penedo do Sino

It is an old cemetery where there are four kinds of tombs: bathtub-shaped, triangular, anthropomorphic and carved in movable stones.

Near these graves is the Penedo do Sino (or Pedra Sineira), a pedunculated granite block, fond of weathering agents, well known for being in a strange and beautiful balance. This site was occupied between the 1st and 2nd centuries and later between the 12th and 13th centuries, it is believed, however, that this necropolis dates from the 6th to the 14th century.

It is a geosite of Estrela Geopark (GW9).
