Over a terrain elevation on the Valencia del Mombuey road, it is located the Calvario Cross. It is inside the property García Álvarez, on a piece of land given by the partnership El Progreso to the parish, with the aim of building a hermitage.
The cross represents the last station of the Penitential Way of the Cross, which departed from the church and passed through Cerrito, Guillermo Sáenz and Calvario streets. There were 14 stations along the route, and some of them had a small alcove and a crucifix. Of these alcoves, only the CROSS OF THE CORNER OF THE LORD remains. Although it was accidentally knocked down by a lorry on the 23rd of December of 1973, the neighbour Emilio Costillo picked up the crucifix and rebuilt the alcove in the same place in 1982.
The Calvario Cross is forged in iron, with grooves on the vertical arm, which is hollow. The cross itself fits into the upper part so that it can be removed relatively easily. Two other crosses were placed on either side, alluding to the thieves crucified with Jesus Christ. Hence the name given to the place: Las Cruces (The Crosses).
In August 1936, due to the Spanish Civil War, this cross was thrown into the Olivar. That night it was picked up by a neighbour, who hid it in a plot of his property until the end of the war, when he returned it to its place.
In 1987, as part of the works carried out on a section of Valencia del Mombuey road, the town council agreed to restore the circular square, where the cross is located, and its steps. From here, there is an excellent panoramic view of the town.
Nowadays, two religious events are still held in this popular square: the Blessing of Palms on Palm Sunday (since 1990) and the Station of the Penitential Way of the Cross on Good Friday.
