Arenys de Mar Cemetery, Cultural heritage cemetery in Arenys de Mar, Spain.
Description
Arenys de Mar Cemetery is a burial ground divided into three sectors with a central chapel and white marble monuments in modernist style. The layout features rows of niche graves arranged along the outer walls, creating an organized and accessible layout.
History
The cemetery was built between 1865 and 1867 under surveyor Domingo Casacuberta, with architectural plans by Elies Rogent i Amat. Its construction came during a period when Catalan towns were redesigning their burial grounds according to modern urban planning principles.
Culture
The cemetery reflects the work of Catalan sculptors whose monuments show the craftsmanship and artistic traditions of the region. Walking through, visitors encounter pieces that illustrate how local artists shaped the look and feeling of such spaces.
Practical
The site is easy to visit on foot and the paths are clearly marked, making a self-guided walk straightforward. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to visit when the space is quieter.
