Dulab Cemetery, Christian cemetery in District 14, Tehran, Iran

The cemetery extends across 8 hectares of land, containing different sections for Armenian, Russian, Catholic, and Assyrian Christian denominations with their distinct burial areas.

Established in 1855 with the burial of Dr. Louis André Ernest Cloquet, personal physician to Nasser al-Din Shah, the cemetery developed into a multi-denominational Christian burial ground.

The cemetery incorporates elements of Qajar architecture throughout its grounds, reflecting the Persian architectural traditions of the nineteenth century.

The cemetery location on the southern side of Peyrozi Street and east of 17th Shahrivar Street makes it accessible for visitors exploring Tehran's historical sites.

The cemetery houses 22,000 interments across five distinct religious sections, including a dedicated area for Polish soldiers who arrived in Iran during World War II.
