Espírito Santo Chapel Stone Cross Cruceiro
- Goián, Soutelo Neighbourhood, -
- Coordinates:41.960896, -8.780701
This Stone Cross is associated with the Holy Spirit Chapel in the Soutelo neighbourhood, which is located a few meters away from the structure. It has a quadrangular step with a truncated pyramidal base. The hexagonal shaft is topped with a capital that consists of a circular piece, and another square piece supporting a cross with straight arms.
It has no inscriptions that reveal information about the possible construction date. However, due to its characteristics and style, it can be dated between the 17th and 18th centuries. The cross appears to be the result of a more recent restoration.
