Amongst the
tombs and mausoleums, cemeteries often contain
jewels of architecture and other outstanding items of heritage. Take advantage of the special guided visits that are organised for
All Souls' to discover two of the most important ones in
Barcelona,
Montjuïc and
Poblenou.
MONTJUIC CEMETERYSince 1883
Montjuïc cemetery has covered an area of
53 hectares. In addition to
funeral architecture of great value it also has the only
hearse collection in Europe. Sign up for one of the
guided daily tours that are organised. You can choose between the
artistic tour, the historical tour, the
combined tour, or the guided tour of the hearse collection.
POBLENOU CEMETERYThe cemetery was designed by the Italian architect
Antonio Gineri in 1775 and, while
Neoclassical in style, has elements of
Egyptian inspiration. The cemetery has two areas, the original one, and a second one that was built during the
19th century. Its nooks and corners reveal items of great artistic and historical. A
dramatised guided night visit is organised for
All Souls'. Your
hosts, from the late 19th century and early 20th century, will show you the cemetery's
most outstanding tombs.
