Cruceiro Marco do Couto

Cruceiro Marco do Couto is a specific named cruceiro, or wayside cross monument, in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, on the Camino de Fisterra and Muxía routes. The name translates as the cross boundary marker of the enclosure, with marco meaning a boundary stone or marker and couto referring to a delimited ecclesiastical or monastic estate.

This type of named cruceiro records the medieval boundary marking practice in which a religious community demarcated its property limits with carved stone crosses. The specific monument thus combines the devotional function of a cruceiro with the administrative function of a property boundary marker, a combination characteristic of the ecclesiastical land management of medieval Galicia.
