This is considered one of the most relevant cruceiros (‘stone crosses’) in Galicia. It was sculpted in 1872 by José Cerviño and represents the most significant moments of human life, from creation to redemption. The Baroque iconography and its symbolism have long been debated. It is divided into three large sections which depict the story of Christianity, from the base with Adam and Eve committing the original sin, followed by the shaft with Mary Immaculate, and lastly the capital with Christ's removal from the cross. It is situated on the square in front of the Church of San Andrés and with the exception of some free-standing pieces, the entire cruceiro is carved from a single block of granite.
