15.- Maritime Cemetery

Description

This neo-classical ensemble from 1835, declared a Nationally Listed Cultural Asset, is the only one of its kind on the Costa Brava. It is a rectangular enclosure with white niches crowned by tympana coated in lime, giving them a dazzling white colour. It has not been in operation since 1970, though it can be visited. It is located within walking distance from the seafront promenade.

It contains the remains of two Catalan figures: Caterina Albert, who, under the pseudonym Víctor Català, wrote great works of Catalan literature, and Josep Esquirol, a photographer who took the first photographs of the archaeological site of Empúries.

Guided tours are organised by the Anchovy and the Salt Museum.

Location: Carrer Garbí, 15
