The mummies of the church of El Piquete

Historical milestone · Quinto, Ribera Baja del Ebro, Zaragoza

Image of Quinto, not of the place itself.

The Mudéjar church of the Asunción, of the fifteenth century, houses the first mummy museum in Spain, with bodies naturally mummified in its crypt between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The humidity and ventilation conditions of the subsoil explain their preservation.
