The Cross stands at the heart of Chester where Bridge, Northgate, Watergate and Eastgate Streets meet, and is an obvious meeting point. It was carved from local sandstone in the 15th century and was badly vandalised during the English Civil War in the 17th century. The Town Crier greets visitors here and religious preachers use the area to express their beliefs. If you are wondering where the actual cross is, study the ball that sits atop the monument! This part of the city also boasts the best view of the rows.
