Sanomedio Stone Cross Cruceiro

  • Tomiño, Sanomedio, -
  • Coordinates:41.984947, -8.768789
It is located at a crossroads just a few metres away from the chapel that bears the same name. It features two steps supporting a quadrangular base with chamfered upper edges. The shaft starts with a square section that leads to a fluted cylindrical column featuring images facing opposite directions. On one side appears Saint Lawrence and on the other one Saint Francis. It is topped by an spheric capital that supports a cross with cylindrical arms. On the base, it is posible to see some rests of what appears to be a heavily eroded engraved inscription, though it is currently illegible.
