Alto de São João Cemetery (Lisbon, Portugal)

Alto de São João Cemetery, the largest cemetery in Lisbon, is a historic site known for its diverse architectural styles, the mausoleums of many notable figures, and as the location of Portugal's first crematorium.

About the cemetery

Established in 1833 at Quinta de São João, the Alto de São João Cemetery initially served Lisbon's eastern side during a cholera epidemic, before Portugal's 1835 law mandated public cemeteries. Land expropriation was complex, finishing only in 1840, with chapel construction beginning in 1841. Gradually, the cemetery expanded to 22 hectares, mostly for temporary burials. Although private mausoleum demand was initially lower than at Prazeres Cemetery, it surged in the 20th century as Prazeres reached capacity. At the same time, the Alto de São João Cemetery began to be associated with the Republican Movement. 

The construction of the first crematorium in the country began here in 1911, but it was not opened until 1925 due to difficulty in obtaining materials and machinery during the First World War. The crematorium was temporarily closed from 1936 to 1985, with an exception made for Hindu community cemeteries, even during the Estado Novo period. In 1985, the crematorium reopened and remains in use today. In 1941, mass grave burials were abolished, and in 1945, the construction of private tombs was halted, with only a limited number of new tombs built since then.

Landscape and architecture

Originally designed with a central chapel and rectangular layout, Alto de São João saw less demand for 19th-century mausoleums compared to Prazeres Cemetery, but this changed in the 20th century. The cemetery features similar construction styles to Prazeres, including underground tombs with stelae, columns, obelisks, and neo-classic and neo-Gothic chapel mausoleums, along with unique neo-Manueline designs. In the early 20th century, Art Nouveau tombs became common, as did Portuguese House-style mausoleums with tiled facades depicting saints. By the 1930s, Art Deco mausoleums with colored limestone facades and bas-relief figures gained popularity.

The 1940 cemetery regulations formalized a modernist style with minimal ornamentation and monochromatic facades. Before the 1945 halt in construction, the cemetery's mausoleum layouts created “neighbourhoods” reflecting Lisbon’s urban developments. Overall, Alto de São João showcases Lisbon’s architectural evolution, especially through the 20th century.

Historic significance

Lisbon, being the capital of Portugal, concentrates all its major political, administrative and cultural institutions and, consequentially, its most prominent figures. Naturally, its cemeteries are the final resting place for many of them. It was the cemetery chosen by the republican elite as the location for their family mausoleums and commemorative monuments, especially during the First Republic (1910-1926).

In the 1920s, the cemetery established the plot of Combatants of the Great War, later expanded into a monument to honor all Portuguese soldiers.

Burials and cremations of many notable 20th-century Portuguese figures took place here, spanning the Republic, Estado Novo, and Democratic eras. Furthermore, many of the most important Portuguese sculptors, architects and stonemasons have works displayed in this cemetery (specially from the 20th century). Being the largest cemetery in Lisbon, it continues to carry out daily burials in temporary graves and cremations.

Cultural Week in Cemeteries

Started in 2022 at Lisbon cemeteries and later expanded to surrounding areas, the annual Cemetery Cultural Week features guided tours, exhibitions, concerts, book presentations, online lectures, urban sketching, photography workshops, and more. 

At Alto de São João Cemetery, in addition to these activities, a collaboration with Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa allows visitors access to normally closed mausoleums, where they can view sculptures, stained glass windows, photographs, and ceramics. Additionally, a commemorative book is being prepared for 2025 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the country's first crematorium.

Prazeres Cemetery (Lisbon, Portugal)

Its historical and cultural significance, along with its scale and serene environment, make the Prazeres Cemetery one of the the most visited tourist cemeteries in Portugal.

About the cemetery

Founded in 1833 around the hermitage of Our Lady of Prazeres, the Prazeres Cemetery was established to serve Lisbon's west side alongside Alto de São João Cemetery. In a period of high mortality generated by a cholera epidemic that led to the interruption of burials in the interior of the churches, this cemetery preceded the law of 1835 that forced the establishment of public cemeteries in Portugal. 

The cemetery’s management was transferred from royal oversight to Lisbon’s City Council (CML) in 1834. Over time, the cemetery expanded southward to meet the high demand for family mausoleums. In 1869, a new chapel replaced the original hermitage. Though Catholic in affiliation, the cemetery maintained a secular policy, allowing civil and evangelical burials. By the 1870s, it included an autopsy room for forensic use, as Lisbon had no city morgue until 1899. Due to the space used for monuments, temporary burials ceased by the 1930s.

Landscape design and architecture

Designed with a pentagonal plan, Prazeres Cemetery initially included temporary graves and underground sepulchres. Influenced by Paris's Père Lachaise Cemetery, the first private mausoleums were built in 1839, decorated with stelae, columns, and obelisks. The Palmela Mausoleum pyramid, built in 1848, became Europe’s largest private mausoleum.

Chapel mausoleums became common in the 1860s, featuring neo-classical, neo-Gothic, and various other historicist styles. In buildings from the beginning of the 20th century we will find Art Nouveau influence - not only in the buildings, but also in their decorations, such as stained glass windows, wrought iron doors, railings, and tiles. At the same time, the Portuguese House mausoleums were being constructed, marked by their roofs made of red clay tiles (or limestone carved in the shape of a tile roof), their porches, shutter doors and corner windows.

The reduction in available space slowed down the construction of mausoleums in the cemetery, but nevertheless, we can also find some modernist mausoleums, with straight lines and almost no ornamentation, contrasting the neoclassical mausoleums of the 19th century. Although mausoleum construction ended in 1945, a few notable contemporary pieces are still present. The cemetery, mostly shaded by dark green cypress trees, reflects an architectural evolution spanning three centuries.

Historic significance

Lisbon, being the capital of Portugal, concentrates all its major political, administrative and cultural institutions and, consequentially, its most prominent figures. Naturally, its cemeteries are the final resting place for many of them. As one of the first public cemeteries in Lisbon, Prazeres Cemetery became a prestigious burial place, chosen by aristocratic families and housing many notable Portuguese figures from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Some remains, like those of the poet Fernando Pessoa, the writer Aquilino Ribeiro or the Fado singer Amália Rodrigues., were later moved to the National Pantheon or the Jerónimos Monastery. Artists and writers are especially honored at the Prazeres Cemetery, with dedicated plots and monuments. Prazeres also has public monuments honoring firefighters and police officers (PSP), and features work by prominent Portuguese sculptors, architects, and stonemasons.

The Graveyard of Our Lady of Lapa (Porto, Portugal)

Lapa Cemetery is the oldest operating private Catholic cemetery in Portugal, founded in 1833 by the Lapa brotherhood.

About the cemetery

Founded in 1833 by the Lapa brotherhood, the Lapa Cemetery is the oldest operating private Catholic cemetery in Portugal, established two years before the Portuguese law on public cemeteries. Initially, it functioned provisionally on a plot of land at the back of its church, with the first burial in the definitive cemetery occurring in 1836. The main construction efforts, spearheaded by businessman João da Silva Ribeiro, took place between 1836 and 1840, and the cemetery was consecrated by 1838.

Due to its strong social acceptance, particularly among the wealthier population, the cemetery saw rapid growth. A little over ten years later, the need for expansion arose, and the cemetery was enlarged. Two decades later the cemetery had to be enlarged again and the works were concluded in 1874. The entrance gate was then moved from its original place to where it is today. 

Even though it is not a large cemetery, the Lapa Cemetery holds immense historical and artistic significance, particularly in northern Portugal. Some of the first Portuguese romanticist funerary monuments were erected here from 1839 onwards. Several of its most pompous tombs served as inspiration for other cemeteries over the decades. In fact, from its establishment until the end of the 19th century, the Lapa Cemetery was the favourite burial place of the Porto elite.

The establishment of the cemetery is also linked to the important military event of the Siege of Porto (1832-1833), which played a crucial role in the transition to a constitutional monarchy. Notably, the king responsible for this change, Pedro IV, donated his heart to the city, and a monument inside the church next to the cemetery houses this heart, making the entire complex a highly relevant historical site. 

Today, the Lapa cemetery attracts many local and foreign visitors. Guided tours, events, and school visits are being organised at the cemetery.

Cemetery architectural and landscape design

The cemetery was designed as a sort of "campo santo", with the central plots for monuments in the form of pedestals, obelisks, or others, and the edges for vault-chapels, which thus enclose the space. However, unlike the typical Italian "campo santo" with porticoes and the most important tombs beneath them, in the Lapa cemetery the construction of the vault-chapels on the edges of the cemetery was left to the discretion of the wealthiest families, resulting in a lack of uniformity and, at the same time, a greater diversity in architectural and iconographic terms. This model of cemetery landscape, which was first applied in Portugal precisely in the Lapa cemetery, was then adopted in dozens of other cemeteries in the northern part of the country.

However, the extensions made to the Lapa cemetery in the 1850s and 1870s did not follow this model: in the upper division of the cemetery, monuments are all in rows, with no intervening paths, and may be small chapels or take on other types (this type of layout is an originality of the cemetery and is not found in any other cemetery in Portugal); in the third division, which corresponds to the final enlargement of the cemetery, monuments are aligned with the streets, as is the case in the two large municipal cemeteries in Porto. Eventually, this final model would also contaminate the oldest part of the cemetery.

By 1910 the cemetery had almost come to a standstill, due to the impossibility of making a new enlargement. With the abandonment and subsequent decay of some of the tombs, namely those whose concessionary families had been extinguished, new tombs were erected at the cost of the demolition of other older ones. Throughout almost the whole of the 20th century there was an impoverishment of the Lapa cemetery. Even so, almost all of its largest tombs remained. The alterations that several of them suffered were due to the concession to other families, leading to the disappearance of the old inscriptions and, in some cases, of portraits, as well as funerary artefacts. In other cases, the tombs their original iron railings.

WDEC 2015 - Culture cycle of Porto Cemeteries

During the Week of discovering European Cemeteries 2015, several guided tours and other events will take place at the Porto Cemeteries.

The Port and Its Photographers II

Guided tour "The Port and Its Photographers II".

Prado do Repouso Cemetery (Porto, Portugal)

Prado do Repouso Cemetery was opened in 1839, as the first public cemetery in Porto. Today, it is considered as a true open-air museum.

The history of burials in Portugal

The habit of turning the inside of churches into cemeteries dates back almost to the beginning of Christianity, although it was often considered an abuse, since it implied the burial of sinners alongside relics of saints. However, the Catholic Church was never able to prevent this accomplished fact.

The demographic pressure and sanitation issues, in the ideological context of the Enlightenment, were the main factors that made some voices rise against inhumations inside churches, from the 18th century onwards. In Portugal, the first legislative attempts to stop burials inside churches were not successful, mostly because the laicisation of the Portuguese society was quite slow in comparison with some other European countries. Thus, the official creation of the Portuguese public cemeteries occurred only in 1835. However, there were previous experiments and Porto, as was common at that time, was the first to establish cemeteries outside of churches.

In 1833, the Porto Siege generated an extremely difficult sanitation situation in the city and led to an outbreak of a very deadly epidemic: the cholera morbus. Burial sites rapidly filled up, and the situation grew worse due to the soldiers who died fighting the Miguelists.

The Prado do Repouso Cemetery

In December of 1839, the first public cemetery in Porto, Prado do Repouso, was inaugurated, although for about two decades it was not very “modern”. Indeed, on this vast estate, partially transformed into a cemetery, only the poorest inhabitants of Porto were buried. The wealthy and more “enlightened” citizens preferred to be buried in the Lapa private cemetery. If they were more “conservative”, maybe they would prefer being buried in the cemeteries of several other Orders and Brotherhoods that existed in the city. These had cemeteries outside of their churches (partially complying with the 1835 decree), but still next to them and with no modern spatial arrangement.

Considering all these factors, the municipal public cemetery of Prado do Repouso couldn’t possibly become any greater. Local authorities have tried, for several times but unsuccessfully, to stop the privilege of the Orders of having private burials. For this reason, there were serious riots in 1851.

The Private Sections of Municipal Cemeteries

Following the 1855 epidemic, all the cemeteries belonging to the Brotherhoods had to be reopened, although the maintenance of those in no condition was increasingly less consensual. In a lengthy and difficult process, each Brotherhood made a deal with the Porto City Council to acquire private sections in the municipal cemeteries.

The Misericórdia do Porto (Brotherhood of Mercy) was the first to do so, acquiring a lot in Prado do Repouso for that purpose. It was followed by the Ordem do Terço e da Caridade (Order of the Rosary and of Charity), and by the Confraria do Santíssimo Sacramento de Santo Ildefonso (Fraternity of the Blessed Sacrament of Saint Ildephonse).

Cemetery of Agramonte (Porto, Portugal)

The resting place of a number of eminent figures, such as count Ferreira, sculptor Henrique Moreira, archaeologist António Augusto da Rocha Peixoto, cellist Guilhermina Suggia, filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira and others.

About the cemetery

Only in 1855 does the situation of the Porto cemeteries begins to change, as consequence of the second great cholera epidemic. The civil authorities managed to close the private cemeteries, which were in bad condition, and simultaneously had a new municipal cemetery built rather hastily - Agramonte.

In a first stage, this cemetery was mostly used to bury the cholera victims. Since there were two municipal cemeteries, the population began to see Prado do Repouso as a more dignified cemetery, considering it wasn’t improvised as Agramonte was (whose chapel was made of wood). Furthermore, some “bold people” had already erected monuments in Prado do Repouso.

The Private Sections of Municipal Cemeteries

Following the 1855 epidemic, all the cemeteries belonging to the Brotherhoods had to be reopened, although the maintenance of those in no condition was increasingly less consensual. In a lengthy and difficult process, each Brotherhood made a deal with the Porto City Council to acquire private sections in the municipal cemeteries. With the restructuring of the Agramonte Cemetery, around 1869, other Brotherhoods of the city established their private cemeteries there.

Of the private catholic cemeteries already in existence, only those of Lapa and Bonfim remained in their own location, because although they were not public, their design was urban and modern (especially that of Lapa), standing on elevated ground and reasonably away from houses. Porto now has eight cemeteries with private sections, which is unique in the country.
