La Croix (Box AB 59): inscription by order of 12 April 2001
Origin and history
La Croix du Cemetery de Faleyras is a monument located in the department of Gironde in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished by its official inscription by decree of 12 April 2001. It belongs to the commune of Faleyras, as evidenced by its record in the base Mérimée, which specifies its location in Bourg, under the code Insee 33163.
The cemetery crosses traditionally play a central role in French villages, especially in Aquitaine. They often mark the entrance of burial places and symbolize the Christian faith of local communities. In Faleyras, as in many rural villages, this type of monument reflects the importance of religion in everyday life, as well as social organization around sacred spaces, especially in medieval and modern times.
