In 1941, at the initiative of the poet Federico Muelas, this monument was built to replace the old iron cross. It is a monolith located 3 kilometers from the town on the way to La Nava, where the poet Jorge Manrique was mortally wounded (1479). It is constructed from stone belonging to the Giraldo of Cuenca Cathedral. The monument has two coats of arms on each side and a central iron cross. It bears an inscription that reads: "Here Jorge Manrique fell mortally wounded fighting for the unity of Spain." At the foot of the monolith, you can see a space intended for a casket containing Jorge Manrique's verses, including the famous "A la Muerte de su Padre" (On the Death of his Father).

In 2021, the monument was restored, consisting of cleaning the stone, refurbishing the stairs, and replacing the bollards.
