Cruz del Rey Don Sancho, Stone calvary near Zamora, Spain.
The Cruz del Rey Don Sancho stands as a stone monument featuring a Greek cross atop a rectangular monolith along the road to La Hiniesta.
The monument marks the location where King Sancho II of León met his death on October 6, 1072, during the siege of Zamora.
Each year, local residents participate in a traditional prayer ceremony at the monument during the procession of the Virgin of La Concha.
