Historische Anlage und Denkmal, Religiöses Erbgut, Leidensweg und Kruzifix, 20. Jahrhundert Um Breil-sur-Roya
  • It is oriented approximately East-West.

    It is a Celtic stone cross, about 1.20 m high, placed on a square base covered with mortar, trapezoidal in shape, 1.10 m square at the base, 80 cm at the top and about 1.90 m high.
    The circle has small godrons, small spherical balls.
    The two branches of the cross are of equal length but the base has a stylised flower motif on all four sides.

    Given its weight, a means of lifting was required for its installation.

    It is probably a reused work....

    It is probably a reused work. On the east side, a white marble plaque is neatly engraved:
    FONS
    VITAE
    AQUA

    FONS
    SALUTIS
    CRUX

    Which means roughly "The water of the fountain is the source of life, the cross the source of salvation".

    At the back and against the cross is a stone basin, at the edge of a large hole, possibly caused by a bomb, and below it a small building.
