Haydarpaşa restoration reaches key milestone
A major phase of the comprehensive restoration of Istanbul’s iconic Haydarpaşa Station has been completed, revealing the building’s historic facade after years behind scaffolding.
As part of a protocol between the Culture and Tourism Ministry and the Turkish State Railways (TCDD), restoration and conservation work on the station’s three facades facing the Marmara Sea has been finalized. Following the completion of the works, scaffolding was removed, allowing the structure’s original architectural details to become visible once again.
One of Istanbul’s most recognizable landmarks, the historic station has begun to reclaim its prominent place in the city’s skyline.
Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy said the project had reached another important milestone.
