Cross of the Oaks

Monument · Riner, Solsonès, Lleida

A 17th-century boundary cross in Riner, standing atop a hill at the exit from Miracle towards Su, from where the sanctuary of Miracle and the turó de Sant Gabriel can be seen; before the fires of 1998 it remained hidden among the vegetation, but today it is clearly visible from the road. It has a flight of four steps on an octagonal base 1.40 metres across, a square plinth and a fluted column with eight flutes, fitted with iron wedges, with a total height of 2.20 metres. An environmental impact study linked to the works on the LV-3002 road located it in 1999.
