A group of three crosses is a Christian symbol in memory of Jesus Christ being crucified, along with two robbers on either side of him.

There is a quiet road with little traffic that leads from Soller's town cemetery to just past these Three Crosses.
The three crosses themselves are made of stone attached to a wall built into the hillside. Fifteen steps lead from the ground level to the base of the crosses, and then the stairway splits to pass either side of them and lead to the viewing platform. The platform gives a panoramic view of the town of Soller.
