On May 6, at 10 am, the last guided tour will take place in the cemetery of Nuestro Padre Jesús organized in this new cycle of routes.
It is a unique opportunity to discover the history of the city through its tombs and pantheons, where there are currently about 160,000 people buried.
The activity is part of the agreement signed between the City Council and the University of Murcia, together with the Murcian Society of Anthropology, and with it is intended to value the cemetery, being a reason for study and protection.
In this way, knowledge about the past that houses this cemetery is promoted, as well as activities and informative publications that encourage the analysis of its cultural history, highlighting illustrious characters whose remains are deposited there.
Three guides have been published - made by the professors of the Faculty of Anthropology Pedro Martínez Cavero and Klaus Schriewer - available at www.ayuntamientomurcia-salud.es, which serve as support to participate in the routes.
The first of them is about the same cemetery as a cultural asset, the second about writers and artists;
and the third is a compendium that gathers members of the economic and political elite of the 19th century, such as Salvador Marín-Baldo Fullea, mayor of Murcia, Tomás Erades Almodóvar, banker and businessman, or Francisco Peńa Vaquero, Industrial.
The next visit, in which 5 to 25 people can participate, will be held on Sunday, May 6.
Those interested can register by calling 968 358600, ext.
56726, or write an email visitacementerio@ayto-murcia.es.
