The land was originally the garden of a summer hunting lodge built in 1870 for Yusuf İzzeddin Efendi, son of the Ottoman Sultan Abdülaziz. He was found dead at the lodge in 1916, after which the lodge and its surroundings passed to other hands. Call +90 212 312 65 84 to speak to the cemetery, or look at its Instagram page for more.
