Rock Cut Tomb in Andalucía

The Necropolis of Puente de Noy is an ancient Phoenician burial ground of 132 tombs dating back to the 8th century B.C. The Puente de Noy and the Necropolis Laurita are Almuñecar’s best architectural remains from the Phoenician-Punic period, long before Roman settlement. The Puente de Noy tombs were excavated during 1979-1993 and it was declared a national historic site by the Ministry of Culture in 1980.
The tombs consist of large rectangular graves dug into the rocky hillside where the deceased would be buried along with symbolic earthly belongings such as jewellery and shrouds. The site is a popular destination of archaeologists and is along the “Route of the Phoenicians” as designated by the European Union. The site can be identified by the large metal structures constructed to cover the grounds and protect the burial sites from the elements, although the canvas awning has since been removed.

The rectangular tombs were about two metres by three metres and were chosen as a funeral resting area, in this ideal location. The graves each had a lateral ledge on one or both of its longer sides. These ledges were used to seal the grave with planks and red clay. Then it was filled in with dirt. On a few occasions the planks were replaced by stone slabs, placed horizontally or at an angle, like a gabled roof. Almost all of them were topped with adobe, but there were also several covered with stones.
