Medieval tomb in Turkey relocated
14 May 2017
In southeastern Turkey, a medieval monument has been successfully relocated over two kilometers. The 550-year-old tomb in Hasankeyf was in danger of being lost due to the construction of a dam.
To preserve this important cultural heritage, the monument was moved in its entirety over a distance of two kilometers to a new location 65 meters higher. This impressive relocation ensures that the historic structure will be preserved for future generations.
