Modernist Cemetery, Lloret de Mar

Modernist Cemetery in Lloret de Mar has now become a museum where 37 points of interest are marked for visitors, most of them hypogea and mausoleums designed by architects as important as Puig i Cadafalch (author here of the Costa Macia Pantheon, 1902) or Bonaventura Conill Montobbio, Antoni Gaudi's friend and author of the pantheon Esquiu-Villalonga (1904-1909), the highest and visible from outside. As happened with other large cemeteries in some Catalan villages, the arrival of wealthy American Indians (emigrants) was a boost for this type of funerary art in the late nineteenth century, the period when this group of sculptures were created.
