Court issues stay of execution for Selimiye Mosque restoration project
The Edirne Administrative Court has issued a stay of execution for the planned restoration work on the dome of the historic Selimiye Mosque.
The restoration project planned for the Selimiye Mosque, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and known as Mimar Sinan's "masterpiece," has sparked controversy. Allegations that the project would interfere with the original inscriptions on the mosque's main dome have drawn public backlash.
Following the reactions, the matter was taken to court. The Edirne Administrative Court issued a stay of execution in the lawsuit filed regarding the proposed changes to the dome inscriptions of the Selimiye Mosque.
The court's decision stated that all documents related to the project approved by the High Council have been requested for examination.
Experts emphasize the importance of preserving Selimiye's historical identity and stress that any work to be carried out must be conducted with meticulous care.
