The work will be carried out through the construction of Patio 5, located in the eastern area of the current cemetery. The Councilor for Territory, Óscar Borrell, highlighted that the awarded company has proven experience in similar projects, such as the expansion of the Virgen del Remedio Municipal Cemetery in Alicante, completed in 2024 for over 3.3 million euros. Borrell stated, “It is important to have a company that understands the technical particularities of these types of projects, as we are talking about an infrastructure that must meet very specific requirements, both from a construction and sanitary perspective”.
The City Council anticipates that a first portion of the new niches will be available during 2027. The project, designed by architect Silvana Soler, includes a new area of approximately 3,975 square meters, with independent external access and an internal connection to the existing complex via Patio 4. In addition to niches and columbaria, it incorporates restrooms, a small office, storage space, waste management areas, parking lot improvements, and the necessary infrastructure for utilities, lighting, and drainage.
This intervention is part of the overall cemetery expansion plan initiated with the municipal acquisition, between 2022 and 2023, of two adjacent plots of 17,000 and 13,300 square meters. The availability of these lands will allow for progressive future expansions and reserve sufficient space to meet burial needs for at least the next 200 years.
