The Cultural Heritage Technical Committee has provided an update on its restoration projects

As part of the projects in Gazimagusa financed by the EU Commission and implemented by the UN Development Program and the Cultural Heritage Technical Committee, the walls of the Martinengo Bastion (Double Mazgal), the Sea Gate and the Canbulat Gate are being protected, drained and restored. These projects serve to preserve and protect the island’s cultural heritage.

These projects are being undertaken on a budget of 1.1 million Euros which has been provided by the EU. The Committee aims to finish the projects in March or April next year.

Once these projects have been completed, the Committee is planning to restore 4 churches around the Double Mazgal.
