Overview

A Guide for Ottoman Architecture in Hungary is a bilingual Turkish-English guidebook written and designed by Mehmet Emin Yılmaz, translated into English by Uğur İkinci and published by the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB) in Ankara in 2024, first edition of 1,000 copies, for the Turkish-Hungarian Year of Culture. 1 3 It is dedicated to the memory of the Turkish and Hungarian soldiers who fought together at the Dardanelles, in Sinai, Palestine and Galicia. 4

Structure

It arranges the monuments by town: Buda and Pest, Esztergom, Pécs, Szigetvár, Eger, Székesfehérvár (İstolni Belgrad) and monuments in other towns, with a list of place names. 2 Each town has numbered day routes (Buda-Pest in three days and twenty sites), and each site has a Turkish page facing an English one with its present address. 5 6 7 8 It draws heavily on Evliya Çelebi and Ekrem Hakkı Ayverdi and presents the monuments as testimony to the Turkish presence in Hungary and to Turkish-Hungarian friendship — the author's and publisher's framing. 8 9 10
