Abandoned Waterfront Mansion in Istanbul, this is what I call architecture!! No laughing,. this is true art!! :)
 
Speaking about architecture, one of my most favorite architectural styles from the Middle Ages, aside from Moorish architecture, is the Arab-Byzantine-Norman one. A wonderful mixture. Art is something that can/must be enjoyed regardless of origin.

















That's a former mosque turned into a church btw. Hence the unique blends.

It certainly is luxurious , but i think it's over luxurious , like a Turkish Baklava , no offence mate :)
K mate, I am ofended.

I´m not sure about that. Are you? What about Italy do you like?
Sure , I love Italy. Though, I don't know much about your country. unfortunately. I mess about half the time here anyways. So, no hard feelings please!!

Lets do an architecture thread.... but lets make sure it's mainly for our region.... :)

i think markus is partially tight , the crusades happened when egyptian bandits harassed christian pilgrims , but then they never won the crusades , the dark ages was infact a follow up to the crusades.



are those pics a turkish resort ? or greek ?
Turkish, but we should share some Greek resorts too, lets not keep them left out, and you the Persian ones.

Well, yeah, they did. I don't think anyone disputes that. Mongols are late arrivals. And pretty much copied everyone in Central Asia. :)
