Lawyer, Avilés Mayor from 1874 to 1879 | 72-73
Being a wealthy man, he committed the prestigious Asturian architecht Manuel del Busto to design his mausolem. Historicism was an artistic style very used at the moment. Reproducing ancient shapes and models of our history is clearly represented in the “city of the living”: the neogothic church of Santo Tomás, in Sabugo, is a clear example
La Carriona cemetery is no stranger to these artistic trends. Thus, this interment looks like a neogothic temple's cloister and a sarcophagus in the arcosolium. Professor Carmen Bermejo highlights the symbolism of this structure, for which the cemetery itself serves as a cathedral; it located in the central nave, resembling a medieval interment inside a church. The client's initials and a skull and snakes can be found at the centre of the structure.
