摘要：This article aim to clarify the origin of the crosses made of stone spread all over the Spanish geography. These elements were considered as artistic elements and had an simbolic, social and cultural importance. Christian doctrine employed the symbol of the cross in order to christianize certain places or items belonging to former pagan cults. Christianity placed crosses on dolmens, menhirs, paths, bridges, fountains and mountains, with or without pedestal, made either of wood or stone, with different forms and features.
