is a treasure composed of several Visigothic votive crowns the Visigoth kings gave to the Church. Is very similar to Treasure of though somewhat crude, possibly the crowns were dedicated to the holy Justa and Rufina.
was found in 1926 in the village of Torredonjimeno near the present Chapel of Our Lady of Consolation, in an olive farm, 2 km from the village of Torredonjimeno and 4 km from Mars, a farmer who was working in the field. Thinking they were worthless pieces, gave them to the children amused themselves by removing the jewelry and mixed with clay. Time later a mop he bought the parts. Here the trail is lost, until they reappear in the 40's, fragmented. The Treasury is currently divided between the Archaeological Museum of Madrid, Barcelona and Cordoba.
