Igualada Cemetery, Modern cemetery in Igualada, Spain.
The cemetery extends through slopes with concrete mausoleums, gabion walls, and winding paths that follow the natural terrain of a former quarry.
Architects Enric Miralles and Carme Pinós designed this burial site between 1985 and 1994 as a replacement for the old Igualada cemetery.
The design incorporates raw materials such as concrete, stone, and wooden railroad ties to create a connection between the living and deceased.
Visitors access the burial grounds through cor-ten steel gates and follow a descending path that leads to different levels containing mausoleums and plots.
The cemetery received the FAD Architecture Award in 1992 for its innovative design that transforms an industrial quarry into burial grounds.
