"Cruz de los muertos" Sineu

Religious | Sineu

Cross of the Dead, formerly known as "La creu d'en Rapó". The cross was built in 1585, and has Gothic and Renaissance elements. The cross itself is Latin; the arms end in star-shaped medallions and the interarms are decorated with vegetal motifs. Four alternating symbols can be seen on the capital: two coats of arms of Sineu, the anagram of Jesus and its date of construction, in 1585. This cross, which was built by Rafael Guitard, is located at the junction of Cruz and Toros streets and at the beginning of Cemetery street. Its present name is due to its location, since in the past it was customary to accompany the dead to this place.
