It was a royal grant from Enrique II of Castile and Do\u00f1a Juana, his wife, to Juan Mart\u00ednez de Rojas and Mar\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez in November 1367, by which \"they were granted the place of Cuzcurrita with all its boundaries, valleys and mountains, meadows and pastures, rivers and waters, terms and vassals with the Justice and Lordship of the said place and the power to put roll, gallows, pillory or knife and other signs of jurisdiction touching the King himself\".<\/p>\n<p>It was<strong> destroyed in 1865 by one or two lightning strikes<\/strong> (according to the version), but it was later rebuilt by the City Council. The current roll is made up of a plinth and a column with four 1.80-metre drums, topped by an ornamental crowning cone. Its <strong>overall height<\/strong> is currently <strong>3.20 metres<\/strong> and the third drum bears the inscription \"Destroyed by two lightning strikes, the town council rebuilt me in 1865\".<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Bolo is a place that represents the historical and cultural legacy of Cuzcurrita de Rio Tir\u00f3n, and is a place of great importance for the inhabitants of the village and for those who visit the area.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loscolmenares.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/el-bolo-de-cuzcurrita-de-rio-tiron-2.jpg\" alt=\"El Bolo viewpoint Cuzcurrita de R\u00edo Tir\u00f3n\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to its historical role, the Bolo is also a very valuable natural space in Cuzcurrita de Rio Tir\u00f3n.
