Mausoleum of Pozo Moro

Pozo Moro, near the Spanish community of Chinchilla de Monte-Aragón, lies about 840 m above sea level and 125 km from the Mediterranean coast at the intersection of important ancient roads.

The Mausoleum was found in pieces in an Iberian necropolis, strewn over a 12 x 12 m area and his since been reconstructed in the Museo Arqueológico Nacional de España in Madrid.

The find spots of the rectangular blocks enabled an accurate reconstruction of the structure, which must have been about 10 metres high and have stood atop a three-level square pedestal 3.65 m wide.

Four stone lions stood on the corners of the mausoleum, whose walls were decorated with reliefs depicting deities.

The same figure's other hand is extended, appearing to touch the head of another small person placed in a bowl on a low altar next to the main table.
