CRUCEIRO AND CHAPEL OF SAN MAMERTO

Chapel and beautiful cruceiro
The chapel is dedicated to San Mamerto and the cruceiro, which is located near the chapel, is situated on a rock. It is of rustic carving on a base of three steps, with a square section at the bottom and at the top. In the centre there are carved edges that make it octagonal in section, and on this base there is a square cross on which the figures of Christ crucified on the front and the image of the Virgin on the back are carved. It bears a legend dated 1892.
