The available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details associated with it. His name evokes the Christian Feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross, celebrated on May 3, but no explicit link with this devotion is documented in the current data.

They served as places of worship, gatherings for local festivals, and often as geographical and social landmarks for the inhabitants.
