Inscrições Romanas - Altar de Penascrita
Granitic outcrop worked and transformed into rock altar, consisting of three steps, topped by three more notches in the rock, in the form of "and" lying. On the surface it stands out a rectangular cavity and linear tears. This cavity is interpreted by some authors as being the "foculus". On one side of the altar there is an inscription dedicated to the God Jupiter, mate, Larouco assigned by the soldiers of the Legion VII Gemina. Mention the resemblance to two other nearby shrines, one dedicated to the God Jupiter and another Larouco.
