One of many sculptures found in the city. This also refers to an important for the Spanish literature novella about a young boy who led an old blind man. The boy Lazarillo is believed to have lived near the place of sculpture. It is outside the city wall at the beginning of the Roman bridge.

An episode from the novel has to do with the primeval "bull" figure standing nearby (once placed in the middle of the bridge). Lazarillo gets a painful slap in the face from his master when, with his head pressed against the figure, he wants to hear alleged noises inside the bull - a lesson in not being told anything and in being "smarter than the devil" yourself
