Giant stele, Archaeological site in Los Corrales de Buelna, Spain.

The Giant Stele stands at 1.70 meters in diameter and 0.32 meters thick, featuring intricate carvings on its sandstone surface.

The monolithic stone disk dates from the pre-Roman period of Cantabria, representing one of the most significant archaeological findings in northern Iberia.

The stone disk displays geometric patterns including swastikas, triskeles, crosses, spirals, and helixes, reflecting ancient Cantabrian artistic expressions.

Visitors can view the Giant Stele at the Parque de las Estelas in Barros, which includes additional stone artifacts from the region.

This monumental stone disk appears on the coat of arms of Cantabria, serving as a regional symbol of identity and heritage.
