The artist and architect Pedro Zamora and the San Miguel Cemetery, this week at the La Malagueta cultural center - Culture and Education - Diputación de Málaga

The cultural center La Malagueta of the Diputación de Málaga proposes two appointments for this week. The Barcelona artist based in Malaga, Pedro Zamora, will deal with the sublime in art on Tuesday, February 1 (7:00 p.m.), in a meeting of the cycle 'Too many humans'. For its part, the morning show proposed by the journalist Ana Pérez-Bryan, 'Historias de Málaga', returns on Wednesday the 2nd (12 noon), with a chapter dedicated to the San Miguel Cemetery.

SERIES OF THE WEEK (C/ Cervantes, 6)

Tuesday February 1. 7:00 p.m. Peter Zamora. Pointing is rude; not when we talk about art. TOO HUMAN. With Jose Antonio Trujillo

Painter, sculptor and architect, Pedro Zamora will trace a synthetic itinerary through the great works that have moved him over the years in the field of painting, sculpture and architecture, with special emphasis on the spirit that illuminates them and some of the sublime features that seem to predominate in each region, country, territory.

Wednesday February 2. 12:00 p.m. The San Miguel Cemetery: eternal life sheltered by the great families of Malaga 'STORIES OF MÁLAGA'. With Ana Pérez-Bryan

The San Miguel Cemetery is one of the historical cemeteries of the capital along with the English Cemetery. Its origin is set at the end of the 18th century, when a royal decree of Carlos III (1787) expressly prohibited burials in churches, as was customary to date. The local authorities then look at this land on the outskirts of the city, which little by little is becoming the eternal resting place of the great families of Malaga. The Larios, the Loring or the Heredia have their pantheons and niches in the cemetery, some of them authentic jewels of funerary architecture. In parallel to the San Miguel Cemetery, the San Rafael Cemetery was built, destined for the most modest classes. The talk will cover both spaces and some of their most unique stories, such as the case of the gangster Alvin Karpis, the prisoner who was held the longest in Alcatraz and who was buried in San Miguel; or the temporary burial of Torrijos and his men before the obelisk in the Plaza de la Merced was built.
