The natural disasters, which affect different geographies across the world, are among the incidents that jeopardize the tangible and intangible cultural assets. Fire is one of the disasters that can be prevented, or the effects thereof mitigated by means of appropriate management models in place regardless of their type. Fires, which are in the status of a social disaster, are a great danger that causes significant damage to historical structures, continue to threaten people, cultural structures and the valuable collections they contain, and cause the disappearance of many irreversible values in many buildings. Fire safety is an important component of cultural heritage. Regardless of the building materials used, prevention efforts against fires, which threaten all building groups, have made progress since the pre-1900s, but unfortunately, we still encounter great losses in every geography. The information obtained upon examination of the modus operandi of the cases about the cause of the incident and spread of fire, and about the first intervention and rehabilitation efforts provide guidance with respect to the management of fire risk. The aim of this study; in a fire that occurred in an important monumental building in the world in the recent past and caused significant losses on the cultural heritage; The reason for its occurrence is to open the focus of cause and effect for discussion through the damage, losses, and rehabilitation studies. The reason for choosing an important iconic monumental building as a case is to define the effect of fire management systems on the event, especially in buildings of this nature.
