How was the renovation of Fasil Tower? What is the reason for the bed?

The fact that the Fasil Wall, which is said to be famous for its amazing, historical and architectural features and was registered as one of the world heritage by UNESCO four decades ago, is cracked and old, is a matter that has been raised by many.

It was said that he faced the threat of survival in his old age.

The historic Faisal Tower, which is undergoing renovation, has recently been unveiled.

The discolouration of the historic Shramha colored Fassil Wall has left it open to several speculations.
Why did the color of the historical wall change from what it has been known for centuries and turned white? It has caused the question to be raised.

Some said, "The heritage has not been properly restored, it has been made to lose its historicity and color."

What does Fasil Giorgis, the veteran architect who participated in the renovation as a consultant and study, say about this issue?

"When the Faisal Tower was built with small stones and lime, long years of rain, sun and natural processes gave it this 'shrew' look that many are familiar with.

Now the lime that has been renovated is new so the color is white.

The renovation work was carried out using the original material of the Fasil Wall, mainly lime and stone.

It is done in accordance with the heritage preservation law.
Only the freshness of the lime produced this white color. The appearance of lime and stone will return to its original form after some years.

The difference is a matter of being new and old.

When the Fasil Tower was first built, the lime was buried for several months or years, and when it was renovated, the lime was buried several times following the origin and the maintenance was carried out.

Artifacts change color over the years due to nature, sun, rain, dust; This one will retain its familiar color for years to come.

According to the international heritage conservation law, the main priority is whether the material is restored. It is the stone and lime restoration that is the key.

We have made sure to do this correctly.
In some cases, chemicals are added for appearance to bring back the old color, but since these are chemicals, they can cause unintended hazards.

We would have liked the color to look like it used to. However, things that are added for color pose an unintended risk to heritage.

At the World Heritage level, the main priority is the original idea. As the lime is accurate and reliable, the renovation is being carried out as it has been in the past.

It is where we gritted our teeth without letting go of the origin.

The appearance that previously appeared in abundance will return over time.

When will Fasil's tower, which is known in its original form, come back? It changes when the rains hit and the weather changes.

It may take three to four years or more for the building to return to its original color.

In some places there were bodies on the top of the tower that were very dark. It will take up to five years for the stones to be restored, or longer to restore the darkened top of the tower to its original appearance," he said.
