Balkan Country With Best Architecture?

[poiuytrewq0987]

Which Balkan country do you think has the best architecture overall?

[пустиняк]

maybe Greece

[mymy]

I voted Greece.

[пустиняк]

The older Bulgarian architecture from National revival time is very nice

Greece, Dalmatia and Boka Kotorska.

[Absinthe]

You mean ancient or modern architecture?

[poiuytrewq0987]

You mean ancient or modern architecture?

Everything. But I suppose you could break it down.

[Absinthe]

Okay...

Ancient architecture: I think Greece would be on the top of the list not just among the Balkans but also universally. It has influenced architecture worldwide.

http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/parthenon-and-the-acropolis-landmark-1.jpg

Modern architecture: I think Greece (at least Athens) would (should) rank lowest than most European countries and should be compared to cities like Cairo or the likes.

http://portal.environment.gr/images/user_files/1/polikatoikies.jpg

Not to say that there aren't areas in Athens with nice buildings, or certain neoclassical buildings which are unfortunately neglected to the point of them collapsing. There's also architecturally interesting areas elsewhere in Greece:

http://www.culturexpeditions.com/culx/uploads/zagoria13.jpg

http://www.mykonosinfo.gr/images/paraportiani.jpg

By the way, in all fairness, and even though unlikely to win, I think Albania should be also in the poll. :)

[Minesweeper]

Slovenia, they were lucky to avoid Turks.

You just haven't been in ex comunist country

For Greece the cities with best architecture are Kavala and Drama not very populated with historic buildings very cool

[Flintlocke]

Downtown Tirana was built by Italian architects and the buildings are very nice and neoclassical Italian style.

[Rron]

Douchean why you didnt put Albania in poll?

[poiuytrewq0987]

I forgot, sorry. :P

[Arrow Cross]

Ancient: Greece.

Modern: Romania. We built it for them. :p

[Bugarash 1893]

Romania.

Romania has regions that were the heart of Austro-Hungary.
The arhitecture that the Austro-Hungarian Empire left cant be beaten.

Some of the castles in Romania will blow your mind away.

Thats actually Byzantine arhitecture.

Ottomans were nomads,they just copied pasted from the byzantines.
Even the ottoman mosques were built according to Hagia Sofia.

[Bugarash 1893]

Indeed.
I think the other states of the balkans would have had at least structures like that only if the ottomans never came.

Almost everything found from middle aged arhitecture in the balkans is what was built before the ottomans.

Balkan states were ehead in arhitecture compared to states in Western or Central Europe before the Ottoman invasion... under the ottomans we have total stagnation.

The story has it that when the ottomans enter Constantinople they were so amazed of Saint Sofia that they didint have the heart to destroy it so they turned it into a mosque.

From that moment on that is is to become an old ottoman practice.They just add minarets from that moment on its all ottoman.:D

Yes, these are typical Turkish residences from 18-19th century. You can see similar houses here in rural parts of Aegean Turkey, Thrace, surroundings of Istanbul.

I was thinking like all the Balkan states destroyed all of these and replaced with commie style blocks. These Turkish style residents still exists in Serbia?

Do you know how many ottoman mosques were built on top of churches?

While others-like the regions under the Austro-Hungarians were flourishing...the lands under ottoman slavery didint get anything.

No theatres,no universities,no administrative buildings,no fountains...
Turks left only gray mosques!

And there is a pretty amazing story behind that mosque.

The early post liberation period,crowds of Bulgarians got ready to burn the last mosque in Sofia-Banya Bashi,on the pic.

The mayor of the city of that time-who was well respected,having lost one of his hands fighting the turks,saved it.He said to the people ''let us not be like them''.

Kažun is a small field shelter, built in drystone technique, without any mortar. Farmers used it is a shelter in bad weather but also for the surveillance of fields and vineyards before harvesting. The origins of kažun cannot be attributed to any specific ethnic group, because the structures are older than any known colonisation of the Istrian Peninsula. They can most commonly be found in the southern and western parts of Istria and have become the best-known symbol of the region.

Kažun is a small, single-space stone house, mostly of a round or rectangular layout. They are an original achievement in the building culture of ancient Mediterranean civilisations. The Istrian kažun is also a unique, ancient Mediterranean type of a stone structure, built in such a way that a house is closed or vaulted without additional construction elements or building materials. A round kažun is typical of southern Istria, while the rectangular ones can be found in central and northern Istria, in particular in the surroundings of Poreč. As a precious example of folk architecture it did not vanish during the Roman period and it has been preserved to date in its simple original form.

Most of those countries have some great architecture, but Greek architecture is not only a landmark in History, it has also been highly influential in Europe and the whole West for centuries. Look at how so many lawcourts all over the world are built in their style even in our days, or so many squares continue to be designed as agoras.

Sincerely, there is no much debate in this matter.

By the way i m in "Balkan Country With Best Architecture?" thread, even balkan word etymology most probably comes from Turkish ;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkans

and Turkey is a balcan country though. Ruled by muslims, it hurts your "european pride" so you always denies facts. You overlap yourself with far far away countries, but if someone says bulgarians look like turks, you are reacting them, don't ignore the truth and give up to show "konak" houses as a bulgarian style :picard1:

you have to read better , this ottoman architecture was not invented by the ottomans but medieval bulgarians , ottomans style just was influenced by this bulgarians architeture with other persian and arabs architecture

and with your comments you just prove all the complex you have , and lol when you turks said bulgarians "overlap with turks" bulgarians reacting becuase they said this thinking bulgarians are mixed with turks wich isn't true , i have to admit there are turks who can fit in bulgaria without any problem especially in the north-western part , and that's normal since north-western turk have a lot of balkan blood , but this does not mean bulgarians are mixed with turks , is better to say that turkish are mixed with balkanians

Well that looks like Cappadokia :rose: ....and if it is.....then is not Turkish :chicken: Architecture either :no: .
And what Othoman Architecture means :icon_ask:? Turks had architecture :crazy:? They came here as nomads on their horses :fhhorse: after the first millenium. They were horsemen, they had no cities :desert: , they didnt build anything in order to have any kind of architecture :irminsul:. They just came and took over :viking4: the villages that other nations built. So lets get abit serious... :richter:

Freaking noob,learn to write cursive.
I am amazed how noob you can be for a greek woman (since usually these are quite smart),you can not even express yourself right,without putting a lot of emoticons.
I guess this is how most greeks who are ultranationalist are,plain noobs,but happily they are very few.
The architecture from Cappadokia is not greek,these people were and are middle-easterners.
They were just assimilated by Byzantine Empire first and after by turks.
Byzantine Empire was a mix of old greeks culture with Roman Empire culture.Roman Empire culture was also a mix of more ethnicities cultures.
And old greeks were not a single ethnicity,but more ethnicities.
Old greeks also took cultures from more parts of the world.
