Shafaqna English- Restoration work has begun on the Al-Farouq Minaret in Iraq’s western Al-Anbar province, a pre-Islamic landmark long threatened by structural decay, an Iraqi official said.
Ammar Ali, director of the Al-Anbar Civilization Museum, clarified that the process is being carried out jointly by the State Board of Antiquities and Heritage and the Al-Anbar Provincial Council, with support from a specialized engineering consultancy.
“Technical studies are underway,” he observed, referring to soil analysis and precision measurements tracking how the structure has tilted over time.
