Summary

A cementery is configured as a double of the realm of the living. It configures a context in which sculpture, architecture, urban planning and public spaces are articulated in a symbolic pact. The image of the monument is thus set out over the individualities of each tomb. This is a brief introduction of the VistaAlegre cemetery in Bilbao pointing out that its development process is an example of a cemetery as a place in which life is commemorated.
