What I can see

To the west of the Evaggelistria cemetery, is the Armenian and Protestant cemetery. It occupies an area of approximately 5,500 sq.m. and has 2 ossuaries. The entrance is common for these two communities. Together with the Evaggelistria cemetery, the Jewish cemetery and the allied cemeteries, it is a landmark of the city and a monumental testimony of the peoples who passed and were laid to rest in it.

What I can't see

The Protestants were European citizens or residents of Western European origin who mostly lived in the Frankish district, today’s Ladadika-Valaoritou. During the Ottoman years, the Christians buried the dead outside the city walls. In the 17th century, the Ottoman administration gave permission for the creation of a Christian cemetery. Today, the cemetery is a protected monument and museum.
