Christian cemetery, Dhaka, Christian burial ground in Wari district, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

This Christian burial ground in Wari district spans multiple acres with numerous tombstones and mausoleums scattered throughout. A distinctive gateway at the entrance displays Moorish design mixed with Mughal architectural features.

Portuguese traders established this burial ground in the early 17th century, making it one of the oldest Christian cemeteries in the region. A priest named Sebastian Manrique visited and documented the site and an adjacent church during the 1620s.

Multiple Christian denominations use this burial ground, which is managed by the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Dhaka. The site reflects the diverse Christian communities that have made their home in the city over many generations.

The cemetery lies in Wari, old Dhaka, and is open daily. The original road layout has faded, so paths between the tomb clusters are hard to follow; the Moorish gateway and the Columbo Sahib mausoleum serve as landmarks. The grounds are managed by the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Dhaka.

The grounds contain a mass grave from the 1943 Bengal famine, enclosed by a stone fence. This memorial preserves the memory of many Christian victims from that tragic period.
