Cemetery Description

The Google map with this doesn't show the name over where the cemetery is, and to add to the trouble there's not really a good demarcation between the cemetery and the adjoining properties to the north and southeast of it on the south side of Ladeira Quinta dos Lazaros. But Google shows it on the south side as the road goes southeast.
Praça Rubin Müller on top of the hill has four cemeteries in its perimeter, approximately to the North, NorthWest, SouthWest and SouthEast. This is a fifth cemetery, twin to the fourth, the SE one, but its main entrance is not in Praça Rubin Müller. They both have a long aisle up the hillside that runs parallel to the divisional wall.
In the map (second picture in the presentation above) one can see Praça Rubin Müller and the boundaries of the five cemeteries marked in white. This one is the one that has the words "Gêmeas" and "Estadio" inside. By coincidence "Gêmeas" stands for "twins" in portuguese
