And what a long name for a Cemetery it is.
It is the by far the biggest Cemetery in Lisbon, but it's not quite as fascinating as the Prazeres. Still a good place to go as my pictures will proove.
The cemetery itself has a strange feeling: It is like a city for the dead. Alleys full of graves that remind you of houses where the dead dwell. You can peek into the doors and see the coffins... most of them slowly rotting. It has a rather creepy feeling.
The biggest difference between Prazeres and this one is the lack of sculptures. There were a few but it wasn't as rich as Prazeres itself.
Here are the Pictures:
Photos from Cemeteries in Europe. Angels, Demons, Skulls, Flowers and Jesus as well. Silent Islands surrounded by loud Cities. Take a look around!

Main Cemetery in Kassel
I know, i know.... it's been a while since the last entry. 13 months to be precise! And yet... i'm not done here. There are still plenty of cemteteries to visit.
The cemetery in Kassel is a big one. Lots of old and huge trees and the atmosphere at this autumn day was spectacular. It was sunny and the morning mist was still around, so the light was just amazing.
