On the program ‘Versió RAC1’, host Toni Clapés spoke with historian and cultural manager of Cementiris de Barcelona, Adrià Terol. The conversation focused on the figure of Ildefons Cerdà, a key urban planner for the development of Barcelona, and especially on the mystery surrounding his tomb and mortal remains.
Cerdà died in 1876 in Cantabria, where he was initially buried. However, the subsequent transfer of his remains to Barcelona became entangled in complications that prolonged the process for decades. The remains were even kept by Fabià Estapé in his own office for a time.
Finally, after a long and unusual journey, the remains of Ildefons Cerdà were definitively buried in the Montjuïc Cemetery in 1971. The interview on RAC1 delved into all the details of this little-known story.
