Turkey starts major restoration on Hagia Sophia to protect it from earthquakes, keeping mosque open.
Turkey has begun a major restoration project on the nearly 1,500-year-old Hagia Sophia in Istanbul to protect it from earthquakes.
The project includes reinforcing the main and half domes, replacing old lead coverings, and upgrading the steel framework, all while keeping the mosque open for worship.
A tower crane has been installed to aid the renovation process, which is seen as crucial due to Istanbul's proximity to fault lines.
