Cemetery of Fermoselle, Zamora
Fermoselle is in the Natural Park of Arribes del Duero, in the region of Sayago, in the province of Zamora. Its name comes from Old Leonese dialect and means “hermosillo” (beautiful).
It is near the border with Portugal and has a spectacular landscape as it is on top of a hill. It has around 1,600 inhabitants.
In the cemetery of Fermoselle we can see ancient tombs along with others that are quite new, which makes a nice contrast.
Granite abounds throughout the region and we see this on the gravestones, which unlike the cemeteries of Fariza and Badilla it does have, and in most ornaments.
We can observe the use of wrought iron and the abundance of trees in this beautiful and well-kept cemetery.
Visitors regularly bring fresh flowers and, unlike other cemeteries in nearby villages, the cemetery of Fermoselle has quite a few niches, as spotless as the rest.
