Cultural Heritage

CRUCEIROS (STONE CROSSES)

Ethnological heritage

Cruceiros are stone crosses that are placed in various places, especially in crossroads, church atriums, chapels or even at the access to cemeteries, always in relation to places of worship.

These stone crosses are one of the genuine manifestations of the Galician popular architecture. The cruceiro is a sacred object, and the place where it is located is also a special place. It is not only an aesthetic or ornamental monument, but it is also an object of devotion and respect.

In Corcubión we have a large number of cruceiros that can be admired by walking through the streets of the town and the municipal territory.
