Filiaşi in spring.

About two kilometres from the town of Filiaşi, on the road between Filiaşi and the foot bridge to Bilta, over the Jiu River, in the region of a point called Chimica, on the right side of the road is an old cemetery of Filiaşi, dating from the 19th to the 20th Century. Today it is covered by agricultural fields and wild trees. A few stone crosses from this cemetery were saved by people from Filiaşi and placed near the Filishano tomb, in the new cemetery of the town, but many are still in their original positions. Some were saved by the Alexis Project and placed in the Bilta Lapidarium.

This image is of a broken tomb, a hole in the middle of the area, with a few bricks forming a roof over the tomb and covered with earth and grass. Dr Gheorghe believes that this tomb is from the end of the 19th Century, and he will bring it to the attention of the Oltenia Museum for an evaluation of its historical value.
