Osuna, a name that echoes through history and spans across continents. From the 16th-century Codex Osuna, we catch a glimpse of the Spanish viceroyship in Mexico, where power and influence intertwined. In Urso, Spain, an ancient fragment reveals a chilling encounter - a man attacked by a lion. The raw intensity frozen in time speaks volumes about the dangers faced by our ancestors. Moving on to Osuna (Urso), another facet of this captivating place emerges - an intricate bas-relief depicting an aulos player. The harmonious notes that once filled the air now etched forever on stone. But it doesn't end there; Osuna holds more secrets within its grasp. Behold the mighty Bull of Osuna, symbolizing strength and resilience throughout generations. A young Iberian rider warrior stands tall with his falcata sword held high. A testament to bravery and skill as he carries forth his heritage into battle. Delving deeper into history, we discover a Roman artifact from Osuna (Urso) - a majestic ram's head crafted during the 1st to 2nd century BC. It serves as evidence of Roman civilization's enduring legacy. The Duchess gazes at us from Francisco de Goya's oil painting, her regal presence capturing both beauty and intrigue. A portrait that transcends time itself. The Osuna Bronzes come next – five bronze tablets inscribed with Roman laws known as Lex Ursonensis (Urso Law). These legal artifacts shed light on governance systems long past but still relevant today. And finally, nestled in one corner relief is yet another flute player from Osuna (Sevilla). Music has always been woven into this town's fabric – melodies echoing through centuries gone by. So much richness encapsulated within one word: Osuna.
