Tomb of Pozo Moro, Iberian mausoleum in National Archaeological Museum, Madrid, Spain

The Pozo Moro mausoleum stands ten meters tall on a three-level pedestal with stone lions positioned at each of the four corners.

Excavated in 1970 near Chinchilla de Monte-Aragon, this sixth-century BCE structure represents the earliest known Iberian funeral monument in Spain.

The walls contain relief sculptures depicting ancient deities and ritual practices, incorporating elements from Hittite, Syrian, and Iberian artistic traditions.

Visitors can examine the reconstructed mausoleum and its artifacts in the National Archaeological Museum, located at Calle Serrano 13 in Madrid.

The rectangular stone blocks of the monument were discovered scattered across 144 square meters before experts reassembled them in their current location.
