Taşköprü Street and named after Ayrılık Çeşmesi. This cemetery is stated
to be the last survived part of the large “Karacaahmet Cemetery”, extending
from Üsküdar to Kızıltoprak. Burials in the cemetery began towards
the end of the XVIII. century and continued until the beginning of the XX.
century. In the cemetery, as well as the courtiers, there are tombs of the
courtier relatives’ with high status in society. If the deceased’s status in society
is important, his or her relative’s tombstone is that much flamboyant.
In this context, a study on “Ayrılık Çeşmesi Cemetery; Ornaments Seen on
the Women’s Tombstones in the XVIII. Century” has been prepared.
On the tombstones, besides traditional ornaments, there are ornaments
that have European features by the effect of Westernization. The ornaments

the tombstones, as well as their places in Turkish Art and their metaphorical
meanings.
