| Summary: | The Cemetery of The Piety was inaugurated at the end of the 19th century as a Catholic andprivate graveyard in Puebla. Currently it is a territory that is characterized by having a richnatural and cultural heritage, tangible and intangible. Cultural assets (tombs and mausoleums)are at risk of loss due to different factors, ranging from the lack of a conservation andinstitutional protection plan, the abandonment of the oldest tombs, earthquakes and naturalevents that cause deterioration, until the population and local authorities are unaware of thefunerary historical heritage contained in this space. Given this panorama, this research aimed tocatalog some assets that are likely to be heritage. As the main criterion, the concept of culturalitinerary, proposed by ICOMOS (2008), was taken into account to observe the culturalexchanges that enriched the life and culture of Puebla. This allowed proposing a cultural route,which tells the history of the cemetery and the city, with this it is intended to start a process of
local patrimonialization that consolidates the conservation of the cemetery as an urbandocument, involving society to generate identity with the place. |
