Pere Riera, Josep M. Gutiérrez, RGA Malla Cementery

Small cemetery located on the north wall of the Romanesque church of Sant Vicenç.
The soil that dampens the wall is replaced by a stepped enclosure with three levels, each formed by a row of double prefabricated niches, covered with white artificial stone slabs. As these are topped with soil and grass, they give the appearance of graves set into the ground.
A permanent play of shadows expresses the presence and dialogue with the invisible, while the bell tower—forming a vertical triangle with two newly planted cypresses—acts as the gnomon of a sundial, slowly casting shadows over the white walls and revealing the passage of time.
A peripheral exterior path made of small gravel steps, which crunch underfoot, allows for an intimate engagement with the landscape. Raw material textures range from grey to white.
