Teresa's Cemetery, Civil cemetery in Bausen, Spain
Description
Teresa's Cemetery is a small burial ground in the Vall d'Aran region, situated at about 846 meters elevation. The site features traditional grave markers spread across a modest area within the mountain landscape.
History
The cemetery was founded in 1916 after a local priest refused to allow burial in the church grounds for a woman in an unmarried relationship. This act of refusal led to the creation of this separate mountain location.
Culture
The cemetery reflects local burial practices through its simple, handcrafted grave markers that visitors can observe. The quiet setting in the mountain landscape shapes how people experience this place.
Practical
The cemetery is accessible throughout the week for visitor access at any time. It is advisable to wear sturdy shoes as the paths and surrounding terrain can be uneven.
