CEMETERY OF OLIUS

The museum in the region

Alongside the church is a cemetery designed in the modernista style by the architect Bernardí Martorell in 1916. He was a disciple of Gaudí and his influences are apparent in elements such as the steeple with the cross on top. The cemetery blends into its surroundings with an irregular plan to adapt to the terrain. It takes advantage of natural resources, such as the stones for the creation of burial areas. The site reveals a symbolic dichotomy between the fallen rocks, a symbol of death, and the oaks, a symbol of life. It is unique in Catalonia for both its originality and state of conservation.
