LA ULTIMA CASA = THE LAST HOUSE

From Antiquity onwards the tomb as a funerary monument depicts the house of the dead, taken to be our last resting place. The tomb also reflects mankind's beliefs and attitudes when faced with death. Despite living in a period that copes with death by trying to hide it, the architecture of the 20th century has never ceased taking an interest in the issue and has made significant contributions to the language of funerary architecture.
