Znajduje się 10 minut od miasta Canillo. Krzyż z XVI wieku jest gotycki i jest najbardziej oryginalnym z andorańskich krzyży. Po jednej stronie znajduje się ukrzyżowany Jezus, któremu, pomimo zmniejszonych wymiarów, anonimowy artysta wyraźnie wyrzeźbił palce u rąk i nóg oraz rysy twarzy. Dziewica jest wyrzeźbiona po drugiej stronie. Ma niski cokół, nałożony na poziomy i zaokrąglony kamień, który zakrywa małą niszę.

It is located 10 minutes from the town of Canillo. The cross, from the 16th century, is Gothic and is the most original of the Andorran crosses. On one side is the crucified Jesus of whom, despite the reduced dimensions, the anonymous artist has clearly sculpted the fingers and toes and the features of the face. The Virgin is sculpted on the other side. It has a low pedestal, superimposed on a horizontal and rounded stone that covers a small niche.
