STREET ART by theNBP

The tomb of Ildefons Cerdà in the Montjuïc cemetery

Barcelona has a great hidden treasure: works of art located in its streets. Today we conclude the second season of Street Art by theNBP by visiting the tomb of Ildefons Cerdà, a replica of the Eixample that decorates the engineer's tombstone in the Montjuïc cemetery, reminding us of the urban planner's connection to the city.
