Funerary chapels in neo-Gothic style with pointed arches and rose windows at Pere-Lachaise cemetery

A series of funerary chapels in neo-Gothic style at Pere-Lachaise cemetery. These structures, built in the second half of the 19th century during the Gothic revival, feature all the typical elements of medieval architecture: pointed arches, openwork rose windows, pinnacles, and floral stone decorations. A birch tree grows among the chapels, symbolizing nature reclaiming the space. The contrast between the gray stone of the mausoleums and the white bark of the tree creates an image of great romantic suggestion, typical of 19th-century cemetery aesthetics.
