A last look back at the normal street we approached from (Carrer Països Baixos) before delving into the oneiric landscape of the cemetery.

To the side of the main procession of the cemetery and elevated above it is a large chamber carved into the rising land.

A little votive figure, so it appears, had been placed in one of them.

More perforations in the walls and roof; here the shape of the hanging panels is easier to see.
