This book presents the Ottoman monuments in Bulgaria. Each of them is examined in detail from a historical perspective, from their construction to their restoration or reconstruction. A more in-depth analysis is made of the features of the internal and external decoration - the image of the fish in Muslim culture, the stone reliefs on the facade corners and the birdhouse in the architectural decor. The book has rich photographic material, a summary in English and is intended for a wide range of readers who are interested in the Ottoman cultural heritage, preserved to this day in Bulgaria.
