Cemitério dos Prazeres
...the cemetery of amusement, that's how they call this city of the dead. After all it is named by the district "Prazeres" where it's located, but somehow I still can't decide whether this name was a sarcastic choice or a pleasant one. Anyway, it's taking your breathe away, the sight on all those small white houses build for those who left, those amazing statues between the pines, cherryblossomtrees and palms, the silence, just disturbed by birds singing (ok, to be honest: in the rear part by cars rushing the close situated autobahn), the location quite high above Lisboa. But get an idea of it by yourself: Prazer!
