The Cross of Provence is a monument located on the western end of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France. The cross was erected on the most prominent western peak of the massif at 946 metres (3,103 ft 8 in) meters, rather than on the Pic des Mouches, the highest point, at 1,011 metres (3,316 ft 11 in). The current monument is the fourth to be erected, the other three having suffered the ravages of time.
