The Pilar del Toro was the last work of Diego de Siloé and dates back to the mid-16th century. Originally, it was located at the intersection of Cárcel Baja and Elvira streets, but in 1940 it was moved to its current location at one of the corners of Plaza Nueva, opposite the Church of Santa Ana. This pillar, made of stone from Sierra Elvira, served as a watering trough for animals and a water supply for the residents of the neighbourhood.
