The Bulls of Guisando

We have spent a while wandering in the pre-Roman days in Spain and we have to say that one of the most important pieces of art is the Bulls of Guisando”, which are a set of celtiberian sculptures located on the hill of Guisando, in the municipality of El Tiemblo, Ávila. They are made of granite and they represent quadrupeds identified as bulls or pigs. Most people believe they are bulls, which holes have been interpreted as sockets for horns. They are examples of a type of ancient sculpture called verracos. They are associated with the territory of a celtiberian tribed called the Vettones. They are said to have been made during the second century BC.
