A pedestal, seemingly oversized compared to the size of the actual cross, forms the base for this small sacred monument. The stone base is divided horizontally into several levels, the third of which tapers towards the top. Above it stands the cross, whose crossbeam—in contrast to the longitudinal beam—is provided with a series of holes, the bottom of which, however, is not visible to the observer.

The castle has an ancient and troubled history, about 1300 years long. In the 6th century the Longobards, coming from Benevento, settled in the area and less than a century later the castle was built, of which today only a few run-down ruins remain. As per practice in the Middle Ages, the first inhabited nucleus developed around the fortress, what is now known as Borgo San Matteo. In the following centuries the castle hosted King Manfredi of Swabia several times, who was buried there together with his son after having lost his life during the battle of Tagliacozzo. Later the castle passed into the hands of the Angevins and the County of Sarno ended up under the control of the Kingdom of Naples. In the 15th century, before passing to the Aragonese, the castle was occupied by the Orsini family, to whom we owe the building of the Bear Tower, still visible today. In these years the castle was the scene of the famous conspiracy of the barons and the Torre dell'Orso proved to be decisive for the fate of the battle of Sarno. The history of the Sarno fortress ends in the 17th century: in 1647 it was destroyed during the repressive actions against the revolts triggered by Masaniello. Also for this reason today the fortress is a set of almost unrecognizable ruins, which emerge scattered here and there in the mountain vegetation, where the central body of the castle is more intact and still viable, albeit with great attention and effort.
