CELTIC STONE BULL
Bull Insurance | What to See and Do
It is located in the Plaza de Segura de Toro. It is the most important vestige preserved from the Roman era and is also a symbol for the town, to which it owes its name. The Celtic stone bull is the most important vestige preserved from the Roman era, when the Veton people occupied these lands, and it also constitutes a symbol for the town, to which it owes its name.
There are several legends surrounding it, its Vetón origin is known, along with a boar also carved in stone that is preserved in the Provincial Museum in Cáceres, of which there is a reproduction in the square. One of those legends says that after the Roman conquest they were considered symbols of bad omens and were thrown into the gorge. Years later they tried to rescue them, but they only managed to save this one and without a head. It is also said that due to the rumor that the interior of the bull housed a treasure, they broke the stone, hence the crack it presents today.
