Croix en pierre de Jaulges

About

The Stone Cross of Jaulges is a road cross located in Jaulges, France.

Location: La Croix is located in the French department of Yonne, in the commune of Jaulges. It rises in the central square of the village.

The cross dates from the 15th century. It was listed as historical monuments in 1925.

Description: This monumental cross rises on a square base. Then comes a fine column with Gothic capital and then the cross itself. At the foot of the column, at each angle, four statues in very eroding low relief represent the four evangelists. Above, near the base of the capital, two bas-reliefs in better condition represent each Saint Martin sharing his coat (an episode of Saint Martin's charity).
