Camas y el Tesoro del Carambolo

Historical milestone · Camas, Comarca Metropolitana de Sevilla, Seville

On the Cerro del Carambolo, in the district of Camas, a hoard of gold jewelry from the Tartessian period (7th-8th centuries BC) was found in 1958, the so-called Tesoro del Carambolo (Carambolo Treasure). The municipality, with documented remains from the Lower Paleolithic, has 29,089 inhabitants (INE 2025) and 11.66 km², at 13 m altitude and 5 km from Seville; the municipal coat of arms, adopted in 1969, features the treasure's necklace with the Latin inscription 'Locus auri caelati in finibus Tartessorum.'
