In 1935, a competition was held to design Ankara’s first modern burial ground. The winner was Martin Elsaesser, whose vision brought Cebeci Asri Mezarlığı to life. Cebeci Asri Mezarlığı isn’t just a cemetery. It’s a tapestry woven with the threads of diverse faiths, a reflection of Ankara’s rich cultural heritage. The largest section is dedicated to Muslim burials, but Christian and Jewish sections also exist within its grounds. Cebeci Asri Mezarlığı is the second largest cemetery in Ankara, after Karşıyaka Mezarlığı. Over 220,000 souls rest here. Among them are prominent figures from Turkish culture and politics. Their stories whisper through the silent stones, a testament to lives lived and legacies left behind. In the year 2000, the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality introduced a system called MEBİS. This system allows visitors to easily locate specific graves within Cebeci Asri Mezarlığı.
