The Imam Abdullah Zawiyah Complex (1249-1294) in Hasankeyf, Turkey, was successfully relocated to a higher archaeological park located 2 kilometres away. As the historic complex consists of several separate structures, the relocation was carried out in phases.

In September the first section of the complex was moved. The 800-ton monument was positioned near the previously relocated 800-year-old Artuklu Hammam and the 15th-century Zeynel Bey Tomb. One day later, the accompanying tower was also successfully transported to the new site. In October, the final part of the complex was relocated.

The cultural heritage of Hasankeyf, located in the Tigris River basin, has been seriously threatened by the construction of a dam. As the reservoir fills, many valuable historic monuments risk being submerged. To preserve this unique heritage, several historic structures have been relocated to higher ground. Thanks to the relocation, this remarkable piece of cultural heritage has been preserved for future generations.
