Cruise Features
The cross rises on a base of seven quadrangular steps where a parallelepiped rests at the top, with the four sides framed with festoons and flat studs.
The deck rests on top of this, on which the base of the shaft and the monolithic circular column rise.
This has a distinct decoration on the lower part, decorated with diamond points, and the upper part is formed by fluting.
This is followed by the Corinthian capital and, finally, the sphere that serves as the basis for the cardinal's cross, represented by four arms, the two upper ones being smaller.
