"Istanbul's Historic Walls under Threat, Warns Last Minute Turkey News"
Restoration Work Continues in 3 Places, According to Istanbul Technical University Graduate Civil Engineer
The restoration and preservation of historical landmarks and buildings is a topic of great concern, and Istanbul is no exception. Istanbul Technical University Graduate Civil Engineer Prof. Dr. Feridun Çılı recently spoke on the topic, criticizing past superficial restorations and discussing the work of the Science Board with the city walls.
Çılı emphasized that the city walls are not just the towers themselves, but rather a complex system of walls, towers, front walls, and moats. The responsibility for the main city wall and its towers falls under the jurisdiction of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, and restoration work is currently ongoing in three different locations along the 7.2 kilometer stretch from the Marmara Sea to the Golden Horn.
It is vital to preserve historical landmarks and ensure that they are restored properly, so that they can continue to be appreciated by future generations. The work being done on the city walls by the Science Board and the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality is a step in the right direction towards preserving Istanbul's cultural heritage.
