British Cemetery

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:43:33

Overgrown with cypress trees, the Cemitério dos Ingleses was founded in 1717. Expats at rest here include Henry Fielding (author of Tom Jones ), who died during a fruitless visit to Lisbon in 1754 to improve his health. At the far corner are the remains of Lisbon’s old Jewish cemetery.
