This book is the first of its kind to discuss the history of the Balkan Peninsula from late antiquity to the height of the Ottoman era by focusing on architecture as its principal gauge. In doing so, it transcends various established conventions in scholarship to present the architectural heritage in the Balkans in a manner that is accessible and comprehensible. Slobodan Curcic challenges notions derived from "modern" national historiographies that view architectural heritage within the confines of modern political boundaries as national heritage with privileged national status and relevance, that frame historical periods by relying on western art-historical conventions and that perceive historical events and developments as direct determinants of cultural history.
