More Cemeteries...

While in Spain we were also able to visit the Montjuci cemetery. What was striking about this cemetery was how it felt much it reminded, at times, of being in a state park. I enjoyed that there was such a mix of burial places all within the hill side.  I think my favorite part was being in the Espais de Memoria. It wasn't form that made the space special but the elements that created the form... the hills enclosing the space and the sky opening it back up. There's a sense of safety...as if being in a fort. It felt comfortable with the warm sun, different places to sit or lie down, and being able to just listen to nothing.
