@article{2014,title={General Overview of the Ottoman Architecture in Serbia},abstractNode={According to the Ottoman Archives books 910 buildings have been built during more than four centuries of Ottoman domination of Serbia. Based on the archival records those structures distribution are determined by the use that can be named, as religious buildings mosques, dervish mausoleum et al.; as education structures, madrasa, school etc; as commercial buildings inns, bazaar, caravanserai etc; as social structures baths, bridges, fountains, etc.; as public structures mansion, home et al; as public buildings of the palace, the customs house, post office etc; as military structures in the castle, tower, barracks, et al. In my paper presentation those structures will be represented in picturesque tables. Based on our inventory study of the Ottoman structures conducted during years 2000-2005, 186 structures were partially or completely with good standing. The majority of these structures today are registered as historical monuments and are under the protection of the Ministry of Culture of Serbia. However, there are still unregistered building as such. Most of the surviving or standing structures are located in cities namely, Belgrade, Smederevo, Nis, Pirot, Sokobanja, Novi Pazar, Leskovac, and t Vranja. In addition, Kladovo Fethul-Islamic Castle- having strategic importance along the Danube River, Castle Golubac, Petrovaradin Castle and the Castle of RAM should also be counted. Most of the existing structures can be listed as the buildings of the classical architectural features of the Ottoman period. In Serbia, Andrej Andejeviç, Ivan Zdavkoviç'in, D.Curiç-Zamalo 's and Duşanka Bojaniç are some main researchers who have studied the Ottoman buildings in Serbia until today. However, these studies cover only a minor part of the Ottoman Architectural features in Serbia. Unfortunately, there has not been done a comprehensive study on the subject yet. Future studies on this field by the young researchers will contribute greatly on rediscovering common cultural heritage which will contribute to the protection of the same. I believe further studies in this area, would be for the benefit of both countries, and I think that will be appreciated by the humanity.},author={Mehmet Zeki İBRAHİMGİL},year={2014},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
