The Centen\u00e1rios<\/em> stone wayside cross, in Valen\u00e7a, underwent conservation work promoted by the Municipal Council in collaboration with the Parish Council of Fontoura<\/strong>. The intervention included surface cleaning, repair of cracks, replacement of unsuitable mortars and recovery of broken elements. The work was carried out by a conservation and restoration specialist, ensuring that the monument maintained its original characteristics.<\/p>\n

The cross is located in the garden of Rua da Igreja, in Fontoura, and is part of a heritage complex that includes the Chapel of Senhor dos Aflitos and the cross of Senhor dos Aflitos, where Jacobean signs remain. The structure rests on a granite base and features a cross made of breccia, a rock formed by cemented fragments, possibly from Tavira, combined with marble.<\/p>\n

Built in the 20th century, this is one of the \u201ccentenary crosses,\u201d erected to mark the 800 years of the Foundation of Portugal (1140\u20131940)<\/strong>. It was conceived as a tribute from the population of S. Miguel de Fontoura and today remains a point of reference for those walking the Camino de Santiago, being frequently recorded in photographs by pilgrims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
