The Bulls of Guisando (Toros de Guisando) are four granite sculptures on the hill of Guisando in El Tiémblo, Ávila, Spain. Dating to the 2nd century BC, they are examples of the Celtic Iberian "verracos" tradition—massive stone carvings of bulls or pigs. Each sculpture features holes interpreted as sockets for horns[1]. They belong to a group of hundreds of such monuments known across the Iberian Peninsula, representing one of the most significant collections of these ancient sculptures[2].
