Abstract
Diplomski rad prati različite prakse Osmanskog Carstva povezane s odnosom prema nemuslimanskoj sakralnoj arhitekturi, a to su prakse uporabe spolija, pretvaranja crkava u džamije, dijeljenja svetišta i kultova određenih svetaca te prakse koje uključuju izdavanja dozvola za gradnju i popravak nemuslimanskih svetišta. Važan pokazatelj politike Osmanskog Carstva prepoznaje se i u utjecaju bizantske arhitekture na osmansku, a opisana je i politika Osmanskog Carstva prema nemuslimanskoj sakralnoj arhitekturi na našim prostorima. Sve su prakse prikazane uz korištenje većeg broja primjera koji pridonose objektivnijem sagledavanju tematike te potkrepljuju tezu o multikulturalnosti i važnosti kulturne razmjene i suživota u Osmanskom Carstvu. Politika Osmanskog Carstva prema nemuslimanskoj sakralnoj arhitekturi bila je stroga u davanju dozvola za izgradnju novih i popravke starih crkvenih objekata, u pretvaranju crkava u džamije nasilno postupanje i uništavanje bili su rijetka pojava, a ostale prakse su većinom pozitivne i pokazuju utjecaj kulturne razmjene i multikulturalni karakter Carstva.This master’s thesis observes different practices in the Ottoman Empire related to the attitude towards non-Muslim sacral architecture. These are the practice of the use of spolia, turning churches into mosques, shared sanctuaries and cults of certain saints, as well as the practice of issuing permits for the construction and reconstruction of non-Muslim sanctuaries. An important indicator of the Ottoman Empire politics is also recognized in the influence of byzantine architecture on ottoman architecture. The Ottoman Empire politics towards non-Muslim sacral architecture in our areas is also described. All the practices are presented through the use of numerous examples which contribute to a more objective consideration of the topic and support the thesis about multiculturalism and the importance of cultural exchange and coexistence in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire politics towards non-Muslim sacral architecture was strict in giving permissions for the construction of new and the reconstruction of old sacral buildings. In turning churches into mosques violence and destruction were rare occurrences, whereas other practices are generally positive and show the influence of cultural exchange and the multicultural character of the Empire
