Résumé en anglais

After the total conquest of the whole of Balkan and Asia Minor by the Ottomans during the 16th century, slowly but steadily there was created an almost uniform architectural style in the Empire. This "Ottoman" style was a fusion of all the old local building traditions and was determined by the multinational character of the Empire's population, with influences from the Renessance of the Arts in West Europe. In the cities, the different national communities lived in separate quarters’ with their own social life, concetrated around their religious buildings, that were, at the same time, their cultural and social centers.The traditional structure of these multinational settlements
was maintained until the end of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Balkan wars lead to the decomposition of the Ottoman Empire. The new national states that were created in this territory aimed at their national homogenity.
