Summary:

This book explores the architectural innovations and cultural transformations on the Ottoman frontier during the governance of Ali Pasha of Ioannina. It examines the role of architecture in redefining political and social landscapes in Greece and Albania during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The author, Emily Neumeier, provides a detailed analysis of Ali Pasha’s patronage and the impact of his rule on local communities, infrastructure, and artistic traditions. The work delves into themes such as the intersection of power and architecture, experiments in architectural epigraphy, and the mobilization of local support through building projects. Designed for historians, architects, and scholars of Ottoman studies, the book offers a new perspective on how architecture was employed as a tool of governance and cultural expression in a contested and dynamic region.
