The Victory Cross (Spanish: Cruz de la Victoria, present location: Cámara-Santa, Cathedral of San Salvador of Oviedo) is an early 10th century Asturian Christian ornamented processional cross, which was, as an inscription says, made in 908 in the Castle of Gauzón (Avilés, Spain). It is a crux gemmata or jewelled cross, given by King Alfonso III of Asturias, who reigned from 848 to 910, to Cathedral of San Salvador (Oviedo). According to the legend, the wooden core was carried by King Pelagius of Asturias at the Battle of Covadonga. The old oak wooden cross was covered with gold and precious stones in 908, under King Alfonso III and donated to the dean of the Cathedral of San Salvador (Oviedo), where is still today.
Since December 1990, the flag of modern Principality of Asturias bears the Victory Cross offset towards the hoist.
