This book is not written for specialists, archaeologists or connoisseurs; it is written for the majority of people w...

Although Ottoman studies have flourished significantly over the last decades, the Ottoman past of today's Greece remains little examined. Partially due to the lack of primary sources, or, as modern scholarship shows, the lack of known and well-preserved and catalogued sources, knowledge of many aspects of the Ottoman presence in the Greek territory, including architecture, administration, and everyday life, is scarce.

The nearby hills of the Muses, the Nymphs, and the Pnyx rise to the southwest1. The Eridanos River, which has its headwaters on Mt. Lycabettus and flows into the Kephisos, crosses the northern part of the Agora. Its riverbed, now...

The Acropolis hill, as its Greek name (which means "upper" or "higher city") suggests, occupies a prominent position in the city of Athens and the basin of Attica. It rises to a height of 156 m. above sea level and has strong natural defenses, and springs of water in its lower slopes. The earliest traces of human presence have been discovered on the north and south slopes and date back to the Neolithic period (5500-3200 BC). [...] In the 6th c. BC, political figures such as Solon, the tyrant Peisistratos and his sons encouraged building and artistic activity in the city a...
