The Dutch protestant cemetery has not been in use for decades, but the chapel within still serves the spiritual needs of the tiny relict Orthodox community of the city. The high walls protected this building from the 1922 fire and in 1952 the Netherlands govenment granted the chapel to the Greek Orthodox congregation for 100 years, who reconsecrated it under the name of Aya Fotini to commemorate the Orthodox cathedral that was destroyed in the Fire, while a smaller copy of the original cathedral was erected in the Nea Smirni (New Smyrna) section of Athens.
