Still a used cemetery, there are however criteria concerning burial here, linking the person to Bornova usually. Unfortunately the graveyard has suffered considerable desecration in the 1980s and 90s, now halted with a resident guard.

A mysterious Greek inscription stone in the corner of this cemetery. This stone could be from a house or some other structure, such as a well or fountain. The way it is laid out does not really fit with the usual format of 19th century Greek funerary inscriptions. If it was from a structure of some kind, 1880 could the the year of construction, the middle line could be a series of initials of builders and/or owners, and the third line could also be the name of the builder and/or owner - information courtesy of George Vassiadis.
