The Treasure of El Carambolo (Spanish: Tesoro del Carambolo) was found in El Carambolo hill in the municipality of Camas (Province of Seville, Andalusia, Spain), 3 kilometers west of Seville, on 30 September 1958.[1] The discovery of the treasure hoard spurred interest in the Tartessos culture,[1] which prospered from the 9th to the 6th centuries BCE,[2] but recent scholars have debated whether the treasure was a product of local culture or of the Phoenicians.[3] The treasure was found by Spanish construction workers during renovations being made at a pigeon shooting society.[4][5]
After years of displaying a replica while the original treasure was locked in a safe, the Archeological Museum of Seville has put the original artifacts on permanent display since January 2012.[6] A replica is on display in the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid.
