Seven crucifixes were found in the central crypt of Sant’Eulalia, among the burial grave goods, showing the death of Christ.

One of these (fig. 1) shows signs of being fixed to a wooden chest: hollow in the rear part, still with a small nail in his right hand, permitting him to be nailed to the wood.

Other examples were attached to the shroud, as they still have shreds of cloth on the back (figs. 2-4); in one case - the shroud fabric covers the crucifix in sign of reverence and devotion to preserve the body of the dead Christ (fig. 2). Metal specimens were found both near some burials, and in earth layers filling spaces between them.
