Iglesia y cementerio de Deià

Religious | Deià

The cemetery, documented since the early seventeenth century, is located next to the parish church of San Juan Bautista. In it are buried some of the illustrious people who lived in the village. It is accessed by climbing a paved road lined with cypress trees and dotted with small chapels with scenes of the Stations of the Cross. From there a beautiful panoramic view of the town and its surroundings can be observed. Among the intellectuals and artists buried in the cemetery are the English writer Robert Graves and the Mallorcan painters Antoni Gelabert and Antoni Ribas Prats.
