About this cemetery
Şişli Armenian Cemetery in Istanbul opened in 1865 on land allocated by the state, between Büyükdere Avenue and Abide-i Hürriyet Avenue. Its entrance buildings were designed by Patriarch Mağakya Ormanyan, with an arched gate added by Mihran Kalfa in 1903. Musicians such as Artaki Candan and Bimen Şen Derkasparyan are listed among those buried here.
