Treasure of Guarrazar, Archaeological treasure site in Guadamur, Spain
The Treasure of Guarrazar contains twenty-six votive crowns and gold crosses discovered in a fruit orchard near Toledo, displaying Visigothic metalwork expertise.
Local farmers uncovered the collection between 1858 and 1861, leading to archaeological investigations that revealed ancient walls, a basilica, and a Visigothic cemetery.
The crowns and crosses demonstrate the connection between religious practices and royal power during the Visigothic period in seventh-century Hispania.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site in Guadamur for an entrance fee of 8 euros, learning about the medieval Christian practices.
The crown of King Recceswinth features blue sapphires from Sri Lanka and demonstrates a combination of Germanic, Byzantine, and Iberian artistic techniques.
