During the Hagia Sophia restoration, it was open to the public, so there was scaffolding inside. Because it has reconverted into a mosque, the floor is fully carpeted, visitors must remove shoes to enter
The restoration is unbelievable.... BUT ..imagine the people working on this in the 13 the Century creating the art ...hard to explain or imagine.....😮...😊. Just my opinion
There is a great article on the BBC website " Spanish church slammed for frightening sculture restoration " Clearly restoration work is less formal in Spain . Just leave it , why fix it if it ain't broke.
Are you the one who decides what is useless? And by the way those are not "useless crap", those are centuries-old masterpieces of immense cultural and artistic value, which have built the identity of today's people, for whom losing them would be a tragedy. If you can't understand that, at leas respect them. Superficiality is not a valid substitute of pragmatism.
The money wasted on these “monuments” could be used to actually help people. They should be torn down and the resources that would be used spent ending world hunger or Climate Change.
