Ouvigo early Christian necropolis

Monument · Os Blancos, Limia, Ourense

Image of Os Blancos, not of the place itself.

Palaeochristian funerary complex made up of a necropolis and a late Roman building, excavated at the place of Ouvigo by Antonio Rodríguez Colmenero from 1971 in campaigns that ran on until 1981; around the cemetery there was a sanctuary dedicated to San Breixo. A testimony to the early Christianisation of these high border lands, it is the most distinctive site of a concello set at almost eight hundred metres.
