Stone cross from the 14th or 15th Century. It was excavated here around 1700. A chapel was built above it. In 2010 the chapel was renovated and the cross now has a dignified place in its interior. Some say it is an expiatory cross, but there is no proof of it.
Height 47 cm, width 36 cm. The inscription is hard to decipher.
