The conservation project of the Ram Castle, which is the common cultural heritage of both the Turkish and Serbian Republic, was realized by the leadership of TİKA in 2014. The Castle was constructed by the order of Sultan Beyazid 2nd by the river Tuna at the end of the 15th century. After a long period of Ottoman authority, Ram Castle was completely left at the end of the 18th century. Currently, the castle is located near a small province of Serbia namely Veliko Gradiste.

 

The project includes Documentation-Problem Analysis, Historical Research – Restitution, Intervention Decisions – Restoration projects, and also structural enforcement project and archeological excavation plan studies.
