Lagar de Varas & Museu Epigráfico Egitaniense

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:39:01

The Lagar de Varas, near the cathedral, hosts an impressive olive-oil press made in the traditional way with ruddy great tree trunks providing the crushing power. In the same complex you’ll find a narrow epigraphic museum densely packed with more than 200 stones from the area bearing Latin inscriptions. Touch-screen displays explain the context of the collection, with in-depth studies of three noteworthy stones.
