Did not expect to find a goddam turkish nationalist on this comment section ngl.

I am afraid I don't actually understand what you are saying apart from the fact you are clogging the comments section here.

I did not expect any greek would understand what i wrote down there also problem not is you, your ethnicity.

The Ottoman Empire and Turkey are not the same thing. Moreover it is generally recognized by leading experts that Ottoman architecture was a product of the synthesis of the building styles of the entirety of the Balkans, Anatolia and the Middle East and largely based on the architecture of the Byzantine Empire. In any case given that the house is located in modern Greece, in a town historically and currently Greek and that it was built by Greek craftsmen (I have both been there and have an extensive library on the subject) it is considered "Greek architecture", a subunit of Ottoman Architecture. Not Turkish.

You should look at old istanbul houses, safranbolu houses, salonica etc. and many other old turkish towns in balkans and anatolia to realize that house could be built by greek merchant but it is still turkish architecture by the way the name of siatitsa derived from turkish "setüstü"

The name for the country Turkey is derived (via Old French Turquie) from the Medieval Latin Turchia, Turquia. It is first recorded in Middle English (as Turkye, Torke, later Turkie, Turky), attested in Chaucer, c. 1369 you should read more books

This is a house built for a Greek merchant by Greek craftsmen from Epirus in a town that was exclusively Greek. If you had said this is a part of "Ottoman architecture" it would be correct, but considering that Turkey did not exist until 1923 your assertion is erroneous.

those are turkish houses by the way

As Bulgarian very good mod, good job

Most heated balkanite nationalist discourse.

I suggest you purchase the excellent book by "Melissa" called "Balkan Traditional Architecture" and furthermore that you read more about history.

Bulgaria became an independent country in 1878. This building was built in the late 18th century. There is a one hundred year gap you see. Not to mention that Bulgaria has never owned Siatista and that it is a Greek town. Therefore it is illogical to assert it was built in Bulgaria for Bulgaria simply did not even exist at the time. Not that it matters anyways because nationalism is a fiction (invented in the second half of the 18th century in Western Europe and transmitted to us Balkan people) whereas architecture is a reality.

Architecture does not take national characteristics. Macedonian refers to the traditional/historical region of Macedonia to which Siatista belongs. All of the Balkans and the Near East share the same style of architecture (if it can be called a style - the word is meaningless really) because they were until very recently under the same empire/civilization for over two thousand years.
