Panteón Familia Ojeda
The Panteón Familia Ojeda stands within the Cementerio de San Miguel, a historic burial ground in Málaga. Burials here began on common ground in 1804, and plots for Málaga's bourgeoisie followed.
A neoclassical chapel dedicated to Saint Isabel of Hungary rose here in 1837. Around it, prominent families and cofradías raised mausoleums of their own. Styles range from neoclassical to neo-Gothic, with Doric temples and Art Deco influences among the monuments. Angels, allegories and mosaics appear between the tombs as you walk through. For the panteón itself, the story starts with land: Don Pablo Calvet owned it in 1867. A notary signed its declaration of new construction in 1980, giving the building official recognition.
The stained glass windows are the mausoleum's speciality. Marina Arias, an artisan specialising in glasswork, is restoring them to their former glory. Vibrant colours and intricate designs are coming back to the glass. The restoration forms part of a wider effort to preserve the cemetery's artistic heritage.
