EL ÚNICO CEMENTERIO REDONDO DE ESPAÑA RESPONDE A LA SIMBOLOGÍA MASÓNICA-
Round cemetery of Sayalonga
El cementerio redondo de Sayalonga (Málaga), el único con forma redonda de España, responde a la simbología masónica y fue construido siguiendo patrones de la masonería, según una investigación del historiador local Valentín Fernández, que ha estudiado las peculiaridades del camposanto.
The so-called Sayalonga round cemetery actually has an octagonal floor plan and was built around 1840 as a result of the royal pragmatics that forced the burial sites from the center of the cities to the suburbs for reasons of hygiene and health.
Fernandez has told Efe that the romantic theory to explain the round shape of the cemetery is that its builders pretended that the people buried there would not turn their backs.
Sin embargo, este investigador defendía que la tesis que cobraba más importancia era que desde el cementerio se ve la torre de la iglesia de Santa Catalina, que es de planta octogonal, y el camposanto «se habría construido imitando esta estructura, ya que pudieron ser ejecutados por la misma persona».
Tras un año de búsqueda en diferentes archivos y de ponerse en contacto con descendientes de algunas de las personas enterradas, Fernández ha podido concretar que el constructor del cementerio fue Pedro Gordillo, maestro albañil de la catedral de Málaga, «que probablemente era masón».

«Por ello, ejecutó el cementerio con estructura octogonal, con una clara intencionalidad, ya que el octógono representa para los masones el equilibrio e indica la idea de una obra perfecta y acabada», ha añadido.
Según Fernández, la presencia de la masonería en Sayalonga se confirma en los estatutos de la sociedad La Iniciación, una logia creada en 1920, «y durante gran parte del siglo XIX y principios del XX, hubo masones que dejaron su huella en el cementerio».
Round cemetery of Sayalonga
In this sense, in the tombs he has found symbols of this doctrine such as the columns, which represent wisdom, strength and beauty; the triangle, which is attributed to perfection and harmony; and the truncated pyramids, which symbolize the elevation of human thoughts.
In addition, there are tombs with the three steps, which represent the path of perfection that the Mason must follow throughout his life, and Fernández has also located the sun, a symbol of marked importance for the freemasons.
For this researcher, the cemetery, the church tower and its checkered floor, a chimney of a house that is also octagonal and the existence of the boys and girls school since the 19th century are evidence of the implantation of Freemasonry in Sayalonga, a municipality of about 1,600 inhabitants located in the interior of the Malaga Axarquía.
