The “estelas”, are stone monuments, monolity, made of clay, they are round with decoration on one face or both.
They were made for the ancient people from Cantabria.
In Cantabria there are lots of “estelas”, with differents sizes. The most well-known and representatives are the biggest “estelas”, they are around two metres of diameter, you can find them in de Valley of Buelna.
The desig of one of them, from Barros, it is the symbol of Cantabria and and you can see it in the Cantabria badge.
They are very old, perhaps they are from VI century B.C.
We don´t know the end of them with security. They can be funeral monuments or marcs of sacred places, It´s quite possible than they are in relation with the sun religious worship.
