At the end of the 18th century, there was evidence that the parish graves, where most of the dead were buried, were foci of infections and diseases that were very dangerous for the health of the citizens. In 1787 there was already the first royal order to close them, but culturally society was not ready to stop burying their relatives near the parish, which provided fundamental divine protection, understood within the mentality of the time. For this reason, it was not until well into the 19th century that the deceased began to be moved to modern cemeteries, such as the one in Poblenou (1819), the first in the whole State.
Sant Andreu de Palomar was the first town in the Plan de Barcelona to have its own cemetery. Probably because of government pressure, but also because of municipalism.

At the end of the 18th century, in the Barcelona Plan there were a series of independent towns that made up a basically rural landscape, especially the town of Les Corts, which belonged to the old municipality of Sarrià, since it did not have its own parish and in at that time it was essential to enjoy autonomy. The parish, together with the cemetery and the neighbourhood, was what gave meaning to collective life at the time, and everything revolved around it.
The first modern cemetery that the town of les Corts had was built in 1845 and was located on the same grounds as the current cemetery, which were owned by the Cuyàs family, landowners very influential in the life of the people of Corts of the time In 1932, the city's first Hebrew precinct was also built there.

In addition, a critical view of societies and their organization is encouraged, death is discussed naturally throughout the visit and understanding and respect for artistic and cultural heritage is promoted.
The Sant Gervasi cemetery was founded in the old municipality of Sant Gervasi de Cassoles, which had been part of the district of Sarrià in the 11th century, until it was declared an autonomous municipality in 1714. Its geographical situation between streams and hills meant that it was always sparsely populated. It is believed that the toponym of "Cassoles" comes from the words "cases soles".
From the middle of the 19th century, the demographics in Sant Gervasi de Cassoles began to grow strongly. The environment and the air that was breathed there was cleaner and healthier than that of the industrialized and congested city of Barcelona, which was still walled under unhygienic conditions.
The Sant Gervasi cemetery was created in 1853, when it was still an independent town (Sant Gervasi de Cassoles was not annexed to Barcelona until 1897). This was created because the parish cemetery could no longer cover the deaths of its inhabitants and, for mainly hygienic reasons, it was closed.

The first modern cemetery that the town of les Corts had was built in 1845 and was located on the same grounds as the current cemetery, which were owned by the Cuyàs family, landowners very influential in the life of the people of Corts of the time In 1932, the city's first Hebrew precinct was also built there.

Guided visit to the Sant Gervasi cemetery, where, through the most representative graves, the most relevant historical, social and cultural facts of Barcelona's recent history and its most illustrious characters are revealed. In addition, a critical view of societies and their organization is encouraged, death is discussed naturally throughout the visit and understanding and respect for artistic and cultural heritage is promoted.
The Sant Gervasi cemetery was founded in the old municipality of Sant Gervasi de Cassoles, which had been part of the district of Sarrià in the 11th century, until it was declared an autonomous municipality in 1714. Its geographical situation between streams and hills meant that it was always sparsely populated. It is believed that the toponym of "Cassoles" comes from the words "cases soles".
From the middle of the 19th century, the demographics in Sant Gervasi de Cassoles began to grow strongly. The environment and the air that was breathed there was cleaner and healthier than that of the industrialized and congested city of Barcelona, which was still walled under unhygienic conditions.
The Sant Gervasi cemetery was created in 1853, when it was still an independent town (Sant Gervasi de Cassoles was not annexed to Barcelona until 1897). This was created because the parish cemetery could no longer cover the deaths of its inhabitants and, for mainly hygienic reasons, it was closed.

The first writings that refer to this cemetery date back to 1922, a year after the annexation of Sarrià to Barcelona. However, we know that from 1835 they began to be buried there, since the royal order forbade burying more in the parish graves, and it was in 1849 that the enclosure was built, according to the projects of its architect Francesc Renat and Arús. This was the most important Catalan town planner before Ildefons Cerdà

In addition, a critical view of societies and their organization is encouraged, death is discussed naturally throughout the visit and understanding and respect for artistic and cultural heritage is promoted.
At the end of the 18th century, there was evidence that the parish graves, where most of the dead were buried, were foci of infections and diseases that were very dangerous for the health of the citizens. In 1787 there was already the first royal order to close them, but culturally society was not ready to stop burying their relatives near the parish, which provided fundamental divine protection, understood within the mentality of the time. For this reason, it was not until well into the 19th century that the deceased began to be moved to modern cemeteries, such as the one in Poblenou (1819), the first in the whole State.
Sant Andreu de Palomar was the first town in the Plan de Barcelona to have its own cemetery. Probably because of government pressure, but also because of municipalism.

The Sant Gervasi cemetery was created in 1853, when it was still an independent town (Sant Gervasi de Cassoles was not annexed to Barcelona until 1897). This was created because the parish cemetery could no longer cover the deaths of its inhabitants and, for mainly hygienic reasons, it was closed.

This was the most important Catalan town planner before Ildefons Cerdà

At the end of the 18th century, there was evidence that the parish graves, where most of the dead were buried, were foci of infections and diseases that were very dangerous for the health of the citizens. In 1787 there was already the first royal order to close them, but culturally society was not ready to stop burying their relatives near the parish, which provided fundamental divine protection, understood within the mentality of the time. For this reason, it was not until well into the 19th century that the deceased began to be moved to modern cemeteries, such as the one in Poblenou (1819), the first in the whole State.
Sant Andreu de Palomar was the first town in the Plan de Barcelona to have its own cemetery. Probably because of government pressure, but also because of municipalism.

In addition, a critical view of societies and their organization is encouraged, death is discussed naturally throughout the visit and understanding and respect for artistic and cultural heritage is promoted.
At the end of the 18th century, in the Barcelona Plan there were a series of independent towns that made up a basically rural landscape, especially the town of Les Corts, which belonged to the old municipality of Sarrià, since it did not have its own parish and in at that time it was essential to enjoy autonomy. The parish, together with the cemetery and the neighbourhood, was what gave meaning to collective life at the time, and everything revolved around it.
The first modern cemetery that the town of les Corts had was built in 1845 and was located on the same grounds as the current cemetery, which were owned by the Cuyàs family, landowners very influential in the life of the people of Corts of the time In 1932, the city's first Hebrew precinct was also built there.

In addition, a critical view of societies and their organization is encouraged, death is discussed naturally throughout the visit and understanding and respect for artistic and cultural heritage is promoted.
The Sant Gervasi cemetery was founded in the old municipality of Sant Gervasi de Cassoles, which had been part of the district of Sarrià in the 11th century, until it was declared an autonomous municipality in 1714. Its geographical situation between streams and hills meant that it was always sparsely populated. It is believed that the toponym of "Cassoles" comes from the words "cases soles".
From the middle of the 19th century, the demographics in Sant Gervasi de Cassoles began to grow strongly. The environment and the air that was breathed there was cleaner and healthier than that of the industrialized and congested city of Barcelona, which was still walled under unhygienic conditions.
