💨 Abstract

Turkey will begin restoration and reinforcement work on the dome of the 1,486-year-old Hagia Sophia, one of the biggest repair projects on the structure. The project will focus on weak structural points due to earthquake simulations, and the dome will be covered first before the existing lead cover is removed. The repair process is expected to be challenging and may reveal unexpected issues, with the structure remaining open to visitors and worshippers during the restoration.
