Graves at the Cemiterio dos Prazeres (Cemetery of Pleasures) overlooking Tagus river and the "25 de Abril" bridge

---

After the city of Lisbon was hit by an outbreak of cholera in 1833, causing thousands of deaths, it was urgent to create a large cemetery for both rich and poorer victims. It has the weird name of Cemetery of ‘Pleasures’, called after the nearby neighborhood (Prazeres) with the same name.
