What you can expect

Meet your guide at the main entrance of Os Eidos Cemetery, recently voted the most beautiful cemetery in Spain. Built in 1833 on the grounds of the former pilgrims’ hospital, the cemetery reveals a lesser-known side of Redondela’s history.

Explore the site’s neo-Gothic architecture and funerary symbolism within the walls that house burials dating from 1860 to 1988, the year the cemetery ceased to be used.

Learn how this romantic garden preserves, carved in stone, the testimony of how the bourgeois society of the time understood death — an extension of their way of living, feeling, their philosophy of life, and their vision of the afterlife.

Hear about important historical figures such as John O’Dogherty, hero of the Battle of Pontesampaio, General Antero Rubín, and Doctor Alejandro Otero, among other prominent members of Redondela society, who watch over you from their tombs as silent witnesses to the changes that almost caused the cemetery and its walls to disappear forever.
