Rumeli Hisarı, Istanbul








Project details:
Project length: 2024 – 2025 (ongoing)
Renovation company: Gür-Ya İnşaat
Renovation management: IBB Istanbul
Purpose of mineralization:
Rumeli Hisarı was built in 1452 by Sultan Mehmed II within a few months as part of the preparations for the conquest of Constantinople. Today, it is an important historical monument and a popular tourist attraction.
Following the cleaning process, the architectural team chose to apply ProtecD® Premium mineralization to the fortress. Their aim was to protect the porous stones, especially the joints, using a sustainable treatment solution.
As a result of these measures, the walls are now protected against moisture infiltration and the buildup of moss and dirt.
