Everything you need to know for your visit to the Montjuic Cemetery

For the design of the cemetery, the architect Leandre Albareda was inspired by English gardens, combining elements of other architectural styles, such as neoclassicism and modernism.

The cemetery stands out for its funerary art; when visiting it, you will be able to observe large pantheons, mausoleums and other sculptures built by the best Catalan artists. Some of the most outstanding are the following:

• The Farreras Framis tomb (1888): Realistic in style, Jaume Farreras was a professor of anatomy, which is why we find a figure of a skeleton wrapped in a cloth on top of the tombstone.

• The Pere Llibre tomb (1888): Of modernist style, the impressive sculpture of the angel stands out.

• The Batlló Pantheon (1889): Neo-Egyptian style, which was very popular during the period.

• The Albareda Pantheon (1889): Neo-Egyptian style, it was built by and for the architect who designed the cemetery.

• The August Urrutia Pantheon (1909-1911): Neoclassical in style, it is one of the most monumental pantheons in the cemetery, with a semicircular loggia with Ionic columns and an interior aisle. In the middle we find a disconsolate angel.
