Poblenou’s Cemetery (Cementiri de Poblenou / Cementiri de l’Este) was built in the mid 18th Century and then rebuilt and extended during the 19th Century. It is divided into 3 sections. The first of which is a labyrinth of 7 story high burial niches typical of Spanish cemeteries. The second section is full of extravagant Neoclassical and Neo-Gothic tombs, mausoleums and Gothic style chapels built by Barcelona’s richest families. The third section is a mixture of niches, monuments and the “fossar” or common grave where Barcelona’s poor were buried. (from From Barcelonalowdown.com:)
