Ulus Cemetery

Dek Besiktas is a cemetery that was created in response to a shortage of burial space in the Besiktas district of Istanbul. When the existing cemeteries of Ortakoy and Cihangir filled up, the Istanbul municipality allocated vacant land next to the Ulus Jewish Cemetery to create a new cemetery. This cemetery has become an alternative burial site in the area and serves as a resting place for many Istanbul residents.
