The Cultural Heritage Technical Committee Continues is continuing with its efforts to restore cultural heritage around the island.

The Bi-Communal Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage has completed the conservation work on the historic mosque in the village of Alaminyo, located in the Larnaca region in South Cyprus.

Speaking about the committee’s efforts, Co-Chair of the Bi-Communal Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage Ali Tuncay, stated that the structural integrity of the mosque was preserved through comprehensive interventions that maintained its architectural and historical significance.

Tuncay noted that site cleaning was carried out, vegetation was removed, and repairs were made to the wall plaster, roof, wooden doors, and windows.

Providing further details on the committee’s ongoing projects, Tuncay announced that next week, a visit will be organized to the Aya Paraskevi Church in the lower Maraş region of Gazimağusa, where restoration work has also been completed.
