Among funeral carriages
Every Saturday at midday the public company Cementiris de Barcelona offers a guided tour of its collection of historic vehicles.
The Funeral Carriages Collection is probably one of the most unique to be found in the city. It was inaugurated in 1970 by Cristóbal Torra, then manager of the Municipal Funeral Service, and displayed in the basement of the Cementiris de Barcelona headquarters on Carrer Joan d'Austria. In June 2012 it was moved to the new facility at Montjuïc Cemetery. It is open on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free and you don't need to book in advance. However, if you want to find out more about the vehicles on display, a good way to visit them is to join the guided tours that take place every Saturday at noon.
The Collection has thirteen original carriages, among which five stand out for their artistic value and their cultural representativeness of the period: the Gothic, the Grand Doumont, the Imperial, the Stove and the Usual Car, popularly known as the Spider. There are also three motor vehicles that were used at various times: the Hispano Suiza and the Studebaker, which circulated in the city from the late 1920s to the 1940s, and a Buick Riviera, a luxurious American vehicle. The guided tour shows each of the pieces and explains their links with Barcelona's social evolution. In addition, the technological and museographic resources that accompany the collection illustrate the ways of life and the evolution of funerary rituals throughout the time that the carriages were in use, from the end of the 18th century, with the construction of the first cemeteries outside the walls, until the mid-20th century.
