Poblenou Cemetery, Neoclassical cemetery in El Poblenou, Spain
The cemetery features rows of seven-story burial niches, extravagant tombs, mausoleums, and Gothic-style chapels spread across three distinct sections.
Napoleon's troops destroyed the original cemetery from 1775, leading to its reconstruction in 1819 by Italian architect Antonio Ginesi.
Many tombs display detailed sculptures, including the renowned Kiss of Death statue from 1930, depicting a winged skeleton kissing a lifeless young man.
Visitors can obtain free maps at the entrance to guide them through the cemetery grounds during daily opening hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The tomb of Francesc Canals i Ambrós, known as Santet, receives continuous offerings from visitors who remember his death while saving neighbors from a fire.
