Sant Antoni Abat Cemetery

Initiated in 1885, this municipal cemetery is considered one of the most important in the Valencian Community from an architectural point of view. The early structures and monuments are great examples of Valencian Art Nouveau architecture and sculpture. It was established at a period when cholera was raging through the city, and the "Old Cemetery" was considered to be too close to the city. It was originally intended as a temporary solution. It was designed and constructed by local engineer Enrique Vilaplana Julià.  In 2024, it is still in use (and continues to be expanded) and the long history illustrates clearly the trends in funerary architecture in the 20th and 21st centuries.

It is also known as Cantagallet Cemetery  and in 2012 the cemetery was placed on the European Cemeteries Route, a cultural itinerary established by the Council of Europe.

One of the most interesting features is the three (connected) subterranean galleries, originating in 1889. The arched underground galleries are both ventilated and illuminated and are open to the public. This feature is almost unique in Spain.
