Origin and history

La Croix de Saint-Solve is a monument located in the commune of Saint-Solve in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The available data do not specify its exact type or period of construction, which makes it a still mysterious subject for local historians. The monumental crosses, frequent in the French countryside, often served as religious, historical or commemorative landmarks.

In regions such as New Aquitaine, they could mark gathering places, crossroads or territorial boundaries, while embodying the faith and traditions of rural communities.
