Located on the European side of the Bosphorus, the Ferik\u00f6y Protestant Cemetery has been the main burial place for Istanbul\u2019s Protestant (and otherwise non-Catholic or Orthodox) foreign community for just over 160 years. Its roughly 5,000 dead from many nations include about 200 US citizens, the largest number of Americans interred at any cemetery in Turkey. Americans helped establish the burial ground in the 1850s and have continued to play a key role in its care until today.<\/p>\n
