The Image of an Ottoman City: Imperial Architecture and Urban Experience in Aleppo in the 16th and 17th Centuries explores how architecture and urban planning shaped the identity and daily life of Aleppo, one of the Ottoman Empire's most important commercial and cultural centers. Drawing on architectural analysis, historical records, and urban studies, Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh examines the relationship between imperial authority and the built environment. The book demonstrates how mosques, markets, caravanserais, public baths, neighborhoods, and civic institutions reflected Ottoman political power while also serving the needs of a vibrant urban society.
