Participants in the tour will learn about the evolution of funeral practices, the artistry of the carriages, and their cultural significance during different historical periods. The collection includes 13 original carriages along with several motor vehicles, all meticulously conserved to tell the story of Barcelona's rich heritage and the transformation of funerary traditions.
