Souls' wayside shrine of Salgueiros

Monument · Xunqueira de Ambía, Allariz - Maceda, Ourense

Image of Xunqueira de Ambía, not of the place itself.

A niche from the beginning of the 19th century put up at the place called Salgueiros to collect alms for the souls in purgatory; these petos, plentiful in the Ourense interior, were placed at crossroads and along the edges of paths.
