It represents the Cruz de la Orden de Santiago (Cross of the Order of Santiago), a military and religious order founded in the 12th century in Spain. The cross is easily recognized by its cross-shaped design with fleur-de-lis (flower-like) ends, symbolizing honor and service.
In Cáceres, which was an important stronghold of the Order of Santiago, these marks often appear on stones, churches, and houses to indicate protection, ownership, or devotion to the order.
