Cool Things to do in Barcelona

I know your not supposed to talk about your final resting place as something cool, or in a context of entertainment, but in the case of the Miralles Cemetary in Igualada I think there is a beautiful philosify behind!

The cemetary is inspired by the Prince Puckler-Muskau in Banitz, and the Al Miniah a necropolis on the Nile of Egypt.

So… the philosify is to make a funeral home that is a memento mori (my translation would be remembering (memento) and dead (mori), and not only a place where you can perform the funeral service!

By making a sort of city of the dead, the mourners are able to “visit” their dead friends or family!

But another reason why it is cool is because of the daring architecture! The place is very raw, and that celebrates what kind of a place it is!

But for you to understand, below are some pics from the site

If you want to visit the Miralles Cemetary in Igualada, you need to take a train from Placa Espanya to Igualada… But be sure to get the right ticket… We where thrown off the train because our tickets where not valid.. You live you learn (weird context to say that.. I know )
