The Libyan Antiquities Authority will carry out maintenance and restoration work on the bronze Knight on horseback and the Phoenician ship (symbol of Oea Tripoli), both set on high columns at Tripoli’s Martyrs’ Square, due to the existence of cracks in the bases on which the statues are erected.
The authority added that for safety reasons, the two statues will be lowered to prepare the bases and address the cracks, confirming that the statues signs will be returned to their original positions immediately after the completion of restoration work.
