A small, quiet cemetery

Sarrià Cemetery is in the Tres Torres neighbourhood: The entrance is on Carrer del Doctor Roux. It’s worth taking a look, because it is still the town cemetery it has always been. There are some references which date its origins at 1850, but the cemetery records, which were kept in the Sarrià parish church, were destroyed in a fire, and the first records we have now date from 1922.

The cemetery of the poet Carles Riba

There are few funerary vaults and monuments in this cemetery but a notable example is the one dedicated to Pharmacist Margenat, the Ombudsman of Sarrià Town Council, by his widow and children. It is also the last resting place of the painter Jaume Mercader and the husband and wife poets Carles Riba and Clementina Arderiu, whose tomb features a nice relief by the sculptor Joan Rebull.
