Cemetery of Arenys de Mar. Photo by David Castañeda.
The cemetery of Arenys de Mar, which has been declared an asset of national cultural interest, is Mediterranean in style and is perched atop a hill facing the sea. It stands out for the quantity and quality of the mausoleums and hypogea found there, which includes sculptures by Llimona, Vallmitjana and Marès, along with architects such as Rovira and Sagnier.
The cemetery is also well-known because it served as the inspiration for the book Cementiri de Sinera by the poet Salvador Espriu, who is buried there.
