Poblenou Cemetery (El Cementerio de Poblenou in Spanish, Cementiri de Poblenou in Catalan) is located in the neighbourhood of the same name in Barcelona. It is sometimes called Barcelona General Cemetery East (Cementerio General de Barcelona, del Este). It is located in calle de Taulat, with the main entrance at Avenida Icaria. The first cemetery at this location was opened in 1775, as the state of churchyard graves inside the old city were considered insanitary. It was opened by the Bishop of Barcelona Josep Climent i Avinent as the first cemetery built outside the city's perimeter wall.
