Examining archaeological findings from diverse locations, from the Mostar Bridge to the Gazi Husrev-bey Complex in Sarajevo, from the bathhouses of Plovdiv to the caravanserais of Skopje, the book also discusses the contemporary reflections of Ottoman heritage through cultural interaction, local agencies, and heritage policies. Supported by modern methodologies, digital archives, and conservation efforts, this work emphasizes the central role of the Balkans in the Ottoman world while also revealing how the legacy of the past shapes contemporary discussions of identity and cultural memory.
