Cemetery of Les Allois and its monumental cross

Located at the top of the cemetery in one of the main aisles, the monumental cross stands several metres high. Built in granite in 1899, it is surmounted by a cast-iron Christ on a cross. Around the cross, tombstones are carved in granite and carry painted porcelain plaques. Characteristic of the cemeteries in the Limoges area, these plaques bear witness to the importance of the porcelain industry in the region, of funerary art and personal and historical narratives.
