Paleochristian Necropolis

Near the church, remains of an ancient necropolis with tombs dating from the first centuries of Christianity were found. These findings show that Garós was an enclave inhabited since ancient times. The archaeological remains, integrated into the surroundings of the temple, offer a fascinating insight into the funerary rites and the antiquity of this settlement in the Pyrenees.
