History
Wrought iron cross placed on a stone base, with pronounced curves, raised by two steps. Very simple central cross supported by four volutes. It is framed by two smaller crosses, on a shaft turned in a spiral, and rising at an angle. Wrought iron finials form a bouquet at the central part of the ensemble. Unique example in the region.
