Day 610 - 15/06/2015 : Olius Modernism cemetery

Just beside St.Esteve Church in Olius, we can find a Modernism Cemetery designed in 1916 by the architect Bernadi Martorell, who was disciple of Gaudí as we can see with evidence elements as the needle with the upper cross.

The cemetery in endorsed in natural environment with a unstable sole due to the ground and it's taking advantage of natural resources, for instance the stones to make graves.

 The symbolism is shown in the building between the fallen stones, the death's symbol, and the oaks, the life's symbol. Its creativeness and condition made this cemetery an unique place in Catalonia.

Mystic !
