Prado do Repouso Cemetery
Cemeteries
Opened in 1839 as the first public cemetery in Porto, it is considered a true "museum of death".
The Porto's funerary art is unique and its main features are the neo-Gothic dominance, the use of granite and monumentality, especially the chapel-tombs.
Of the numerous monuments of historical and artistic value, we highlight, for example, the chapel of the cemetery (in fact, what remains from the unfinished Church of St. Victor), the ossuary of the former nuns Convent of St. Benedict's of Hail Mary and its former cross; the cross from the graveyard itself, with an iron Christ, as well as remarkable tombs and mausoleums of personalities from various fields.
