La Traviesa Estate and Necropolis
The La Traviesa public estate, situated in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla Natural Park, boasts outstanding natural and historical features. In addition to its landscape of pastureland and Mediterranean woodland, its network of footpaths, its recreational area and the Mirador de La Traviesa Astronomical Observatory, it is home to one of the most significant prehistoric burial sites in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula and a key source of information about the communities that inhabited these mountains during the 2nd millennium BCE: the La Traviesa necropolis.
Warrior Stela, Montejícar-Type Halberd and Ceramic Vessel
The rich archaeological history of Almadén de la Plata has left us an outstanding collection of pieces that make it possible to learn about the communities that inhabited this territory between the 2nd and 1st millennia BC. Among them are the Montejícar-type halberd from cist 5 and the ceramic vessel from cist 20, both recovered during the excavations of the La Traviesa necropolis and dated to the Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). Alongside these materials, the Almadén Stele 2 stands out, an exceptional decorated stele from the Late Bronze Age (9th–8th centuries BC), discovered on the Dehesa del Viar estate. Taken together, these finds constitute valuable evidence of the beliefs, funerary rituals and social organisation of the communities that inhabited the Sevillian Sierra Morena between the Bronze Age and the beginnings of Protohistory.
Turdetan Treasure
The Treasure of La Puebla de los Infantes constitutes one of the most outstanding sets of Iberian goldwork preserved in Andalusia. Its pieces, made of gold during the 3rd century BC, reflect the high technical level reached by the workshops of the period and the importance that this territory had in the final moments of Iberian culture.
