Art and memory combine in the Orbón's family mausoleum. | C-31 – 4
Julián Orbón (1915-1991) belonged to a family related to arts and music. Julián spent most of his life in America, where the musician delighted the audience with a broad repertory played by the greatests American orchestra. Orbón is credited with composing Guantanamera, the music for the verses of the great Cuban poet José Martí. The Municipal School of Music was named after him.
The family's mausoleum is an example of a different artistic trend: “secessionism” which originated in Vienna at the end of XIX century and in some way related to modernism. Order, balance, geometrical lines and abstract and stylish decoration.
It was built in 1931 by Tomás Acha, architecht in the Real Compañía Asturiana de Minas in Arnao and who also was the author of the Hospital de Caridad along with Manuel del Busto.
