Timeline

Origin and history

The Cross Cross of Sorbs is a monument located in the municipality of Sorbs in the Occitan region. This type of cross, often erected at road intersections or at village entrances, was generally used as a religious landmark or symbol for residents and travellers. Details of its construction or specific origin are not available from current sources.

In rural areas such as Occitanie, cross-crosses played an important role in the daily life of communities. They often marked places of assembly, prayer or protection, reflecting the strong presence of the Catholic religion in the social and cultural life of villages. These monuments were also landmarks for pilgrims or travellers crossing the countryside.
