Mausoleum of the Durán Family, Cementery of Ahuachapán, whose sculptures denote the<br />

family values: Industry, work, agriculture, and commerce.<br />

Esta escultura representa, con un tren rodeado de trigo, la industria. La familia Durán fue una de las más destacadas en la vida económica<br />

y política de Ahuachapán a inicios de siglo XX. Es el único mausoleo encontrado cuyas alegorías no se relacionan con valores cristianos<br />

ni con el pesar y la tristeza, sino con representaciones de mujeres grecorromanas.<br />

This sculpture, with a train surrounded by wheat, represented the industry. The Durán Family was one of the most prominent families in<br />

the economic and politic life of Ahuachapán at the beginning of the XX century. It is the only mausoleum found with allegories that are<br />

not related to Christian values or sorrow and sadness, but with representations of the Greco Roman women.<br />
