  • Oldest 'historical' monument

    Leaving aside all about pre-Phoenician times in Hispania, what do you think guys it's the oldest monument still standing in Spain? I'd say the Guisando Bulls near Avila but I am not sure. I always wondered why the bulls have never been put in a museum to preserve them from the inevitable vandals.

        Wait a minute!

        The link says settlements were occupied from 2000 BC until the Roman invasion in 123 BC so they can be really old.

          Ooops! No comment! But then the taulas would probably be pre-Phoenician monuments, therefore out of the time frame considered.

            The webpage says these taulas are from ~200 BC-123 BC. I do not know for sure but I believe the bulls are older. BTw, There is another bull in Salamanca which might be even older.
