History
Before the Mount Vulcan erupted in 1871, this area surrounding the large cross used to be a cemetery. After the eruption there were several earthquakes in the area and the lava was still continuously flowing in the sea, which resulted to some parts of the island to submerge to the sea including this area. Therefore a large cross was built to mark the buried remains that sunk and became hidden by the sea.
