Title
Restoration of Istanbul’s Historical Areas
Description

The Historic Peninsula of Istanbul encompasses four designated zones recognised as Istanbul Historical Areas, listed as World Heritage Sites. Notable restoration efforts include the City Walls (‘Mevlanakapı’), now accessible to visitors and the completed restoration of Anadolu Hisarı on the Bosporus, with ongoing efforts to restore Rumeli Hisarı. Maintenance and repairs have been concluded for the Column of Goths and Obelisk in Sultanahmet, crucial archaeological assets dating back to the 4th century. Instances like Casa Botter and Sen Piyer Han serve as positive references for public-private partnership projects, illustrating active management of restoration projects, public accessibility and contribution to creative development in restoration efforts across Turkey.
