Summary
The construction of the cemetery of Polloe, a work by José de Goikoa (1876-1878), is the product of reflections on public hygiene. Their project follows the stylistic current, defended by the romantic movement of Neo-medievalism. Its occupation begins with the typology of the projected chapel-tombs, all of which follow Neo-classical formulations. In the last years of the 19th century this typology dissappears, even though the monuments that are built continue reproducing elements originating from the classical world. In 1902-1910 the chapel - tomb type monument is taken up again, using ogival art as a model. It is the moment of the recognition of the work of funeral architects as well as that of the material object of their work.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
