Croce del Beigua is a monumental cross in raw concrete, located on the plateau of the summit of Monte Beigua, at an altitude of 1,286 metres. Surrounded by many transmitters, it offers a secluded and charming atmosphere.

The concept chosen by the architect for the "Croce del Beigua" does not conform to the usual pattern followed by many summit crosses. Rather than having a classic base as its foundation, it "grows" out of the roof of the chapel standing there, rising towards the sky in a massive form. The choice of material used for the construction – exposed concrete – clearly indicates its affiliation with the era of so-called "Brutalism." This is a modern architectural style popular in the post-World War II era, which deliberately avoids cladding or painted concrete. Another striking feature is that one of the two crossbeams of the cross is fitted with a railing.
