Website | EmailIt is easy to miss this cemetery just to the right of the Camoes Grotto and Gardens, but once inside, it holds a certain sombre, mossy attraction. The tombstones are big slabs of resting stone or upright crosses inscribed with anything from a simple name to detailed inscription, allowing a peek at the former life inside. Inmates include many naval officers along with Robert Morrison, first Protestant missionary to China, and Lord John Spencer Churchill, ancestor of Sir Winston. Artist George Chinnery, renowned for his pictures of Macau, holds pride of place.
