Christian cemetery, Dhaka
Dhaka, Bangladesh · built 1800
The Dhaka Christian Cemetery (also known as the Narinda Cemetery) is a graveyard situated in Wari, an area of the old town in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was established by Portuguese traders in the 17th century and is still in use by members of the Dhaka Christian community. The cemetery contains two designated archaeological sites, the Columbo Sahib mausoleum and the tomb of Reverend Joseph Paget. Many of the oldest graves and mausoleums are in a state of disrepair and are being overtaken by unchecked vegetation growth and lack of maintenance, while other parts of the cemetery still see new burials taking place. It is open daily to visitors.
