Describe the location:
This cross can be seen on top of the Mount Sezla. Mount Ślęża was an ancient holy place for local tribes dedicated to a sun deity, and remained a holy place during Christian times as well. In the first half of the 12th century, the owner of the place was the Polish dukes' governor, Piotr Włostowic, who founded there an Augustinian convent which was subsequently moved to Wrocław in 1153. Today the mountain is a popular place for picnics and sight seings.
