Spray-painted names and hearts on the walls of the historic Berberkaya tomb in the northwestern province of Bursa’s İznik district will be cleaned by a team of experts. The tomb, which dates back to the Bithynia civilization in 149 B.C., is made of basalt rock and located on a slope close to the district’s Lefke Gate.

Tourism officials in the region had complained about graffiti which covered nearly the entire tomb, so the Culture and Tourism Ministry’s Directorate of Surveying and Monuments in Bursa initiated work to reverse the damage to the tomb.
