It is a place where you can admire stone carvings that are more than 2,000 years old that were recovered and taken there so that they can be contemplated by visitors who wish to do so.

You have to pay a small entrance fee of €2 to ensure the conservation and maintenance of the sculptures, but it is definitely worth it.
These are 4 bulls carved in stone from the 3rd century BC. next to an old inn or inn called "Juradera" in which the pact was signed between Enrique IV and his sister Isabel.

The arrangement of the sculptures is interesting: they are side by side, forming a line in a north-south direction and all of them facing west, to the hill of Cerro de Guisando, from which they receive their name. The Tórtolas stream, which is located behind it, marks the natural border between the communities of Castilla y León and Madrid.

The Guisando Bulls are an outstanding example of Vetona sculpture, a pre-Roman art, found in the municipality of El Tiemblo, in the province of Ávila.
These are four large granite statues that represent bulls. These sculptures date from the 6th or 3rd century BC. and they are considered one of the most outstanding examples of Veton sculpture, associated with Celtic culture. Although their exact meaning is unclear, it is believed that the Guisando Bulls could have a symbolic or religious purpose related to fertility and the protection of livestock. There has also been speculation about its possible connection with ritual ceremonies.
