Mausoleo de Salvador Barroso
Mausoleo de Salvador Barroso stands in Málaga’s historic Cementerio de San Miguel, among the city’s notable architectural and historical sites. The cemetery opened in 1810 after a yellow fever epidemic moved burials beyond church grounds. Built in 1845, this mausoleum was the first constructed within the cemetery. Municipal and diocesan architect Cirilo Salinas Pérez designed its structure in the architectural style of the period.
Salvador Barroso served as dean of Málaga’s College of Lawyers and supported the city’s cultural and artistic life. After his death in 1842, the Licenciado Barroso Prize carried his legacy into drawing and mathematics. The prize recognised Malagueño achievement until 1886, despite Barroso leaving no direct descendants. Around it, different architects created mausoleums for prominent Málaga families and figures, while the cemetery closed in 1987 after surrounding neighbourhood expansion.
