The man who dug his own grave. This life size sculpture of a man holding a pickaxe can be found at the entrance of the Montjuic cemetery of Barcelona. Its a homage to the grave diggers and the workers who started the construction of the cemetery. It is a local legend that the man portrayed in the statue died due to his own work. While digging a grave, he accidentally hit his back with the axe and there he was burried in the same grave he was digging.

The Fallen Angel - Montjuic Cemetery, Barcelona..

acidburnchemist Did you know that this crypt was made by Martinez Fortuny in 1910 for the family Urrutia? It is a neo-classical type and is made of marble and white rocks. This angel is also seen in the crypt of the family Les Corts. There are two of these angel sculptures at the Montjuic cemetery.
Another trivia, this was the crypt that Anne Rice used for the book cover of one of her vampire chronicle books, The Sanctuary (El Santuario in spanish).over 1 year ago · report

If you believe everything you see in the movies, all cemeteries should be dark, eerie places accessed by rusty iron gates, filled with crumbling macabre headstones, and with a mysterious low-lying fog of uncertain origin. Ominous shapes should be lurking in the darkness, twigs should snap loudly, and no cemetery is complete without the startling flutter of bat wings.
Back in the real world, no two cemeteries are alike, and spooky is the exception rather than the rule. Many travellers, particularly those with an interest in history, art, and landscape architecture find themselves drawn to graveyards to capture the beauty of the grounds and the ancient crypts, read the inscriptions, and seek out the graves of famous historical figures, and something about cemeteries makes them almost irresistible to photgraphers.
