Unexpected Discovery of the Lady of Baza in Granada
The Lady of Baza was discovered in 1971 by Francisco José Presedo, a Spanish archaeologist. In July that year, Presedo was excavating in a pre-Roman necropolis called Cerro del Santuario, which is situated to the north of Baza, in Granada, the south of Spain. As the excavations were going on, a worker’s tool struck something hard in the ground. Initially, the object looked like a piece of colored rock. Presedo was called to inspect the object. More earth was removed, and the face of a woman soon emerged. Eventually, a seated statue measuring 1.2 m (4 feet) in height was unearthed. The statue became known as the Lady of Baza.
