Nazim Can Cihan, a restorer of the IBB Miras (Istanbul Municipality Heritage) team, cleans Turkey's first Ataturk monument (20th century) at Sarayburnu on the Bosphorus from bird droppings during routine cleaning in Istanbul, Turkey, 04 January 2021. Istanbul has been a site of human settlement for around 3,000 years and nowadays it is a cradle of cultural and historical heritage points that plot the city's evolution over time. Byzantine churches, walls, and cisterns rub shoulders with Ottoman mosques, fountains, and tombs in the Turkish city that straddles Europe and Asia. Some of the historic features of Istanbul have been neglected in recent years while others have fallen into ruin. It is a trend that specialists from Istanbul's cultural heritage department (IBB Miras) strive to buck. IBB Miras brings together experts in restoration, architecture, engineering, history, and visual arts, who want to breathe some life back into some of the city’s dilapidated gems.
