Hello everyone ,hope all of you are doing well . I am Aminur Rahman Khan , from Bangladesh , living in Dhaka city. Today I am coming here to let you know about one of the oldest Christian Cemetery in Dhaka city, established in 16th century .
Today (04/12/2020) I wake up early from my bed, then call one of my school ( Saint Gregory High School ) friend for breakfast together , then go to Shankhari Bazaar , very common place in Old Dhaka , both of we take our breakfast at Omullo Mistanno Bhandar . Then we make a plan for visit Christian cemetery Dhaka, wari .
The exact location of the Christian Cemetery is at Wari , It is just beside from Salauddin Specialized Hospital Limited and Wari Police station . Also its just walking distance from Baldha Garden . Everyone is not allow to enter this cemetery , if any of your relatives or known buried inside the cemetery then you can allow for entry.
This Christian Cemetery was mainly developed for the European traders and their family , this cemetery is around 400 years old, thus most members of East India Company lie buried there.
After entering the gate , I find two different types of architecture of the graves , one part is older one , the holy cross or the pillar beside the grave has baroque style, just like the Greek or roman style. Other part of the graves are newly build. Most of those are looks like our modern building structure.
