The Vettones left their mark on Segura de Toro 2,500 years ago. One can find numerous manifestations of their architecture and culture in the town to this day. Find out more when you visit Segura de Toro.

The Plaza Mayor in Segura de Toro is home to the town’s most representative symbol of Vettone culture. Presiding over the square is an original Vettone verraco, a granite sculpture of a large wild boar. For the Vettones, these boars were symbols of power and status. It is one of the most impressive and best preserved specimens in the area.

Segura de Toro also features ancient Celtic wine and oil presses, which you can explore on the SL-CC 101 “Los Lagares Celtas” trail.

At the entrance to the village, near the main road, visitors will see a stele, an engraved stone slab, also from the time of the Vettones. This particular stele has a series of inscriptions and engravings that may have a religious or symbolic meaning.

Another symbol that visitors won’t want to miss is the replica of the Celtic warrior on the façade of the town hall. The original artefact was discovered by physician and historian, Marceliano Sayáns, along with a Roman milestone, two circular stelae, a verraco (stone boar) and a Corinthian capital from an ancient Roman temple. The original pieces were transferred to the Provincial Museum of Cáceres.
