A massive, stone-built base supports the "Croix de Chirole," a symbol commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, crowning the summit plateau. The two wooden beams of this small sacred monument clearly show the effects of wind and weather. The large body of the crucified Christ, however, whose light color clearly stands out against the background of the dark beams, appears to have been relatively recently restored or perhaps even renewed.
