Description: This is called "King's Tumulus", in Necropolis de Arteara. Among the 800+ tumulus, this is a special one. On the equinoxes, the sun illuminates this one but the surrounding tombs are kept in the dark. // Esta es la llamada "Tumba del Rey" o "Túmulo del Rey". Se trata de un túmulo especial, de los más de 800 que se encuentran en la necrópolis. Las paredes de los riscos de Amurga poseen un hueco, por el que sale el sol los días del equinoccio. Durante unos momentos, el "túmulo del rey" es iluminado, mientras otros a su alrededor permanecen en la oscuridad. This is a photo of an archaeological zone indexed in the Spanish heritage register of Bienes de Interés Cultural under the reference RI-55-0000082.
