Description: In 1971, Empresas Públicas de Medellín determined that more water and power was needed to support the rapidly growing city of Medellín and determined that the Negro-Nare River should be dammed at Guatape, flooding valley in which the town of El Peñol was originally located. This cross now marks the location of the former El Viejo Peñol church that fronted the town plaza under the El Peñol-Guatapé Reservoir created by flooding the valley.
