WDEC 2022 in Santander

Municipal Cemetery of Ciriego (Santander, Spain)
On June 4, 2022, a spectacular night event entitled "The Night of the Muses" will celebrate art in all its forms at the Municipal Cemetery of Ciriego in Santander (Spain).

The Night of the Muses

Once again, the Municipal Cemetery of Ciriego resumes visits to its necropolis. This sixth edition is entitled "The Night of the Muses" and it is included within the events of the Week of Discovering European Cemeteries 2022.

The event will take place on June 4, 2022, at 21.30, in the Municipal Cemetery of Ciriego.

Program

The muses will be the ones to guide us through the Ciriego cemetery. The necropolis will be the inspiration for the artists. Let's not lose sight of Urania (muse of Astrology) who will prevent us from getting lost in the network of streets and alleys of Ciriego. With Erato (muse of poetry) we will remember one of our most beloved poets, Pepe Hierro. Terpsicope (muse of dance) and Euterpe (muse of music) will accompany us to our "little amphitheater". Polimnia (muse of the lyric) will show us the charm of silence and voice and, finally, Clio (muse of history) will take us to the place where stories never were.
