Croix hosannière de Moëze, 16th century wayside cross in Moëze, France
The Hosanière Cross stands in the cemetery of Moëze, featuring twenty Corinthian columns supporting an entablature with a pyramidal structure and stone cross.
Built between 1628 and 1632, the cross underwent modifications during the French Revolution when authorities ordered the removal of its summit until 1825.
The monument serves as a significant stop during Palm Sunday processions and holds recognition as a registered French Historical Monument since 1886.
Located near Saint-Pierre church in Moëze, the cross remains accessible throughout the year through the cemetery grounds.
The structure incorporates elements of Greek temple architecture with four fluted columns on each side and Latin inscriptions adorning the frieze.
