British Cemetery
Cemeteries
Private Porto cemetery which represents a more romantic environment.
Small tombstones hidden by ivy and large trees give it a sober and strongly melancholy gloom.
From 1820, the first open air perpetual funeral monuments were erected.
In this cemetery there are graves belonging to British families linked to Port Wine, but also German families and families from other nationalities. Highlights go to the mausoleum of Count Moser, the Consulate John Whitehead, founder of the cemetery, and which occupies a central position within the area, and also the Baron of Forrester.
As it is closed to the public, you must ring the bell, preferably from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
