  1. What are they?
    The Bulls of Guisando are stone sculptures in the shape of bulls (although some believe they could be wild boars). They were carved by the pre-Roman Vettones, more than 2,000 years ago.

    Where can they be found?
    They are located in El Tiemblo, province of Ávila, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain.

    What famous historical event took place there?
    At that location, in 1468, the Concord of the Bulls of Guisando was signed, an agreement between King Henry IV of Castile and his half-sister Isabella, by which she was recognized as Princess of Asturias, that is, heir to the throne of Castile.

  2. They are "Los Toros de Guisado".

    It is located in " el cerro de Guisando, al lado de la Cañada Real Leonesa Oriental, en el término municipal de El Tiemblo, en la provincia de Ávila (España)."

    Which was signed on Guisado Hill in September 1498 between the King of Castile, Henry IV, and his half-sister Isabella. Under this pact, Isabella was proclaimed Princess of Asturias and legitimate heir to the throne of Castile.

  3. The Bulls of Guisando are four sculptures of bulls, carved from granite stone, measuring 2.5 meters in length. Their origin is unknown. They are located in the province of Ávila, bordering Madrid, specifically in the municipality of El Tiemblo, on the Cerro de Guisando hill in the Sierra de Gredos.
