This week we will offer a guided visit to the cemetery of St. Joseph. This activity will give you a different approach to life and history of Granada.
Constructed urgently in 1805 next to the Nasrid Alixares Palace due to the yellow fever epidemic that gripped the city, is the forerunner of the cemetery known as San José (St. Joseph) today. It has a logical location, in the privileged complex of monuments and landscape of the Alhambra, construced outside the city on the orders of king Charles III.

Successive projects and extensions by important architects and sculptors have definitively fashioned the courtyards we will find on our stroll through the city’s memory.

We will be accompanied along our route, where there is a  lot more to discover than two centuries of history, by memories of  those who lie herre, the artwork and singularity of their pantheons and the coppice surrounding them.
