San Vicente Square Station of the Cross Víacrucis
- Barrantes, Praza de San Vicente, 18th century.
- Coordinates:42.015107, -8.763778
It has a square section and rests on a base consisting of two steps and a prismatic pedestal. The last one bears an engraved inscription that is hard to interpret due to erosion, but in which the date 1773 is still legible.
This cross was originally part of the Stations of the Cross, that began on the wall of the parish church and continued through Praza de San Vicente with another cross, before crossing the road to continue on the opposite side.It is not entirely preserved, and only the base of some crosses remains.
