Divriği Great Mosque and Hospital

Sivas Governor's Office has initiated works to add the city center of the eastern province, which hosted many historical artifacts from the Seljuk, Ottoman and Republican periods, to the UNESCO Cultural Heritage Tentative List.

The unfinished restoration process of a UNESCO-listed mosque complex located in the Central Anatolian province of Sivas will continue after four years of a break.

The restoration of the 800-year-old Divriği Great Mosque and Şifaiye Madrasah was started in 2017, however, it was stopped after two years for financial reasons.

The Touristic Eastern Express that runs from Ankara to the eastern province of Kars will resume operations, which were halted in March 2020, in December.

The train will depart from Ankara on Dec. 15, said Transport Minister Adil Karaismailoğlu in a written statement.
