En la base del hermoso crucero puede leerse la inscripción:«Por la cyudad se Yzo este crucero y campo siendo Corregidor el Ldo. Bernardo Patricio de Arce y Obregón. 1718». Realizado en granito, tiene en la cruz las figuras de Cristo y la Virgen Dolorosa. Cuatro medallones rodean la Virgen con símbolos de los evangelistas.

en: " Located in the Praza da Madalena, the name comes from a chapel that has since disappeared, owned by the Count of Amarante, in the place where the square connects with the Trigo. The place before the square was a cemetery, as the medieval tombstones remind us on one side, supported by the church of Santa María Nai. It is centered on a baroque cruise ship, one of the most beautiful in the city, which came to rest in this place from its original site, near the Roman Bridge. The inscription can be read at the base of the beautiful cruise ship: Bernardo Patricio de Arce y Obregón. 1718 ». Made of granite, it has on the cross the figures of Christ and the Sorrowful Virgin. Four medallions surround the Virgin with symbols of the evangelists. It rests on three square steps."
