Cemetery of Fariza de Sayago, Zamora
The cemetery of Fariza is in the region of Sayago, in the province of Zamora.
Its name, of Arabic origin, means “The Castle”. Fariza, with only 675 inhabitants, is located in the Natural Park of Arribes del Duero, near the border with Portugal.
For a long time various cultures have intermingled in Fariza; therefore it has pre-Roman, Roman and Arabic settlements.
This cemetery, like the cemetery of Badilla, has a peculiarity which is not unique in this region: the graves can not have gravestones, by order of the City Council, so it looks different but is still very carefully tended to, neat and tidy.
