Turkish-Islamic Architecture in 16th and 17th Century in Croatia : Issues of Assessment and Reconstruction

Until recently, the Islamic heritage left from the times of the Turkish rule was a poorly preserved and completely unknown layer of historic architecture in Croatia, present mostly in the regions of Slavonia, Lika and Dalmatinska zagora region. Croatia has just recently performed an inventory of its Ottoman heritage (coinciding with the layer of renaissance and early baroque in the free parts of Croatia at the time). This unusual ‘counterpoint’, i.e. the meeting point of Islamic architecture and the Western visual arts, is today highly valued as a specific quality of the Croatian cultural space. This report will present the research of Ottoman architecture so far, the recent renovations, as well as the conservation restitution programs that are currently in preparation - from archeological presentations to procedures for the conservation of ruins, adaptation for new functions, and related assessment and methodological issues.
