Formed by six staggered octagonal steps on which a column based on curved lines is decorated with wreaths and interlaced leaves; a torso stem with flowers in the intervals and at the top over the corbels the sculptural group representing the Virgin with the Child is evident. Sculpted, four angels holding hands stand out. Finishing with a Latin cross, with lateral pyramidal finishing rods and the upper one with cartouche and with Christ sculpted.
