Lisbon Noir

Cemitério dos Ingleses (‘British Cemetery’) was founded in 1717 and  is a burial place for mostly non-Portuguese inhabitants of Lisbon and its surrounding areas.  Perhaps the most famous person buried here is Henry Fielding, the English novelist and dramatist who came to Lisbon in 1754 to find a cure for his ailments and never left as he died in Lisbon only 2 months after his arrival.

The most recent addition to the Museu da Água is the Galeria do Loreto (‘Loreto Gallery’), which connects the Reservatório da Patriarcal with the São Pedro de Alcântara garden.  The Galeria do Loreto has a total length of 2835 m and a public tour is now available of a part of gallery (around 400 meter). There are plans to open up other parts of the gallery.
