Turkey begins major restoration to earthquake-proof the iconic Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, a World Heritage Site and Turkey's top tourist attraction, is undergoing its first comprehensive restoration aimed at earthquake-proofing the 1,488-year-old structure.
The project, expected to last several years, will reinforce the building's dome, walls, and minarets.
Despite the renovations, the site will remain open to visitors and worshippers.
The restoration aims to protect the historic landmark from future earthquakes, a significant threat given Istanbul's location near an active fault line.
