In urdu language Gora Qabristan literally means 'cemetery of the white'. A colonial era cemetery. Located in the Karachi Cantonment area off Shahra-e-Faisal, the main artery of this mega city, it spans over 20 acres of land and has been a revered place for Christians. Earmarked for the British originally it is now open for burial of the local Christians as well.
