route 13 A Sionlla – Agualada – O Carballal – Lavacolla

This cross, located next to the parish church of San Paio in Lavacolla, is an outstanding piece of Galician religious heritage. Crucifix type without a platform, it is made of granite and has a very molded quadrangular pedestal with a pronounced scotland.
The shaft is circular and ends in a Tuscan capital, on which stands a woody cross with knots. The obverse shows Christ crucified with three nails, head tilted to the right and without a crown of thorns, accompanied by a parchment with the initials INRI. On the reverse, the Sorrowful Virgin is depicted with her hands clasped and a sword stuck in her chest, on a pedestal supported by three winged angels.
This crossing, of unknown chronology, is in a good state of conservation and is part of the heritage complex linked to the Camino de Santiago, being a witness to popular devotion and local history.
