Find out more about Cores Cemetery

It is the second municipal cemetery in Dumbría and is next to the municipally-owned funeral home. This cemetery is neoplasticist in style and breaks with the traditional idea of a cemetery, grey and sad in themselves. Because of its features, it is popularly known as the “Cemetery of Colors”.
It is the most striking cemetery on the Costa da Morte. Its construction works were completed in 2012. It is the work of the architect Rosana Pichel, the same one who designed the pilgrims’ hostel of O Conco and other municipal facilities.

It can be defined as a neoplasticist necropolis, the name of the style created at the beginning of the last century by the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, whose squares were full of crossed lines horizontally and vertically, with very bright colors in each segment. Also noteworthy are the roofs, which try to imitate, in their own way, the trees that surround the place, in Estimán.
