Abstract

The cemetery of Begoña (Bilbao, Bizkaia) was dismantled in 2022 and will be transformed into a park with “memory”. Certain construction elements will be preserved in order to transmit the history of the site to the visitors. The petrological study of the building and ornamental stones emplaced in the graveyards and mausoleums has permitted deciphering their use throughout the history and their origin, as well as selecting the most representative elements for their conservation in the future park. One of the main conclusions is that the use of the stone has changed through the time. During the first phase of the cemetery (19th century), limestones and sandstones of local origin were used. On the contrary, (late half of 20th century and 21st century) limestones, marbles and plutonic rocks of national and/or international origin were used.
