Theoretical and practical issues regarding relocation of monuments – The case of Arslanagić Bridge in TrebinjeMaja Toshikj, Ákos ZsemberyDepartment of History of Architecture and Monument Preservation, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Faculty of Architecture, Budapest, HungaryThe treatment of relocation is always questionable not only because of the theoretical background and methods used but also because it is a force majeure intervention. Considered inappropriate by heritage professionals since the primary task of monument conservation is in situ prevention, there is a need for a better understanding of what relocation means, when it is allowed, how it should be done, and the criteria to determine how and which monuments qualify to be preserved. This paper reviews the aspects of material and structural authenticity when relocating Arslanagić Bridge, the connection with the historical context, and existing charters and terminology. In addition, it aims to contribute to a broader theoretical understanding of relocation. Two types of damage are inflicted on the monument during the relocation; one is that the monument is extracted from the environment in which it originated, and the historical continuity is broken, and the other is from the method of relocation. In the case of the bridge, maintaining a physical appearance becomes more important than material authenticity. During reassembly, the internal cohesiveness was violently disturbed, damaging the integrity of the infill at the structural level by introducing concrete. At the new location, it is articulating as a new element, a new historical layer in a new environmental context.

Anıt korumanın birincil görevi yerinde koruma olduğundan dolayı koruma uzmanları tarafından uygun görülmediği için, yer değiştirmenin ne anlama geldiğinin daha iyi anlaşılmasına ihtiyaç vardır. Ne zaman izin verilmelidir? Nasıl yapılmalıdır? Hangi anıtların nasıl korunmaya uygun olduğunu belirleyen kriterler neler olmalıdır? Maja Toshikj, Ákos Zsembery.
