Comments & ID Thoughts
The picture was taken at night. I was attracted by the reflection of the eyes when I swept the area with torchlight. It seems to be missing some legs. Size is difficult to guess, it was quite large, about 50mm across including legs.

Sorbas, 
Wolf Spider (Lycosidae) as a starting point. I’m not familiar with the genera in your region.
Thank you. I have no idea why I am so fascinated because I am quite scared of spiders, but there are many of them around and some knowledge cannot hurt.
