The authorities of the Turkish city of Hasankeyf, located in the Turkish province of Batman, prepare to move a 650-years old Zeynel Bey mausoleum to save it from flooding that will occur when the nearby Ilisu Dam enters service.
Representatives of the company in charge of the relocation assured that using the latest engineering systems they will be able to safely move the mausoleum which weighs roughly 1,100 tonnes without inflicting any damage upon the structure's architectural look.
