There are geometric reliefs of the dome of the Church of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Dulcis, in the village of Buera, formerly belonging to the town of Alquezar and today, together with the village of Huerta de Vero they form the town hall of Santa Maria de Dulcis, although we all continue to call each village by name.

On the way to the Dulcis Mansion, which collapsed some 10 or 12 years ago when its restoration began, leaving only the Church standing, and upon reaching the Hermitage of San Juan, there is a detour to the left, that following it, you get to the call "O Pozo os Moros", that is, El Pozo de los Moros, where according to the In this tradition, plates of ice taken from the ravine were placed inside, each layer of ice sheets being separated from the next by layers of straw. These heavy sheets of ice were used in summer to refresh.
Our grandparents commented that this ice was transported at night to be used by the Muslim chiefs living in Alquezar (castle).

This well could perfectly be Roman and not Arabic.
