New Cross of Corbera

Monument · Corbera de Llobregat, Baix Llobregat, Barcelona

Also called the Creu del Pontarró, it was erected in 1617 to commemorate a healing attributed to Mary Magdalene; destroyed during the Sexenio Revolucionario (1868-1874), it was rebuilt in 1883 and suffered further damage to its top in 1936. It is one of the few covered wayside crosses that survive in Catalonia.
