About this cemetery
In 1787 Pina Manique, on the orders of Queen Maria I, built a cemetery in Ajuda to serve the servants of the Royal Household and the poor of the parishes of Ajuda and Santa Maria de Belém. It became public property in 1835 under a decree requiring public cemeteries, in place of burial in churches. In 1849 it passed to municipal control on the orders of Queen Maria II, and it is the third municipal cemetery of Lisbon. Its phone number is +351 21 817 3700, and more can be read on informacoeseservicos.lisboa.pt.
