Un corto paseo conduce desde el caso urbano de la localidad hasta la citada iglesia de Santa Coloma. En una amplia curva de la carretera y sobre el fondo de la Sierra de Alto Rey destacan tres monumentos en piedra: el central es un conjunto de tres cruces (¿un calvario?) que está flanqueado por otras dos menores, una a cada lado, a cierta distancia. Todas ellas tienen una base de arenisca roja sobre las que se sitúan las cruces de caliza, densamente cubiertas por líquenes.
