The Calvary of Herreruela

Monument · Herreruela de Oropesa, La Campana de Oropesa, Toledo

Well-preserved devotional ensemble atop a hill, with fourteen granite crosses, the setting for traditional Holy Week processions. Each cross, of stone and similar composition, rises on a cubic base between 90 and 110 centimetres wide and 80 high, with a crossarm about 120 centimetres long; its age is unknown. The traditional Way of the Cross is held on Good Friday mid-morning, and the ensemble is considered one of the best-preserved calvaries in the area.
