The Ottoman Heritage

Part II of the Poetic Tour of the Balkans

When most people think of this region today, images of the most recent wars, devastation, and chaos of post-communist times come to mind. However, hidden behind these images is a region rich in history and culture: Viennese cafe culture meets the best of Southern Europe; Adriatic beaches rival those of Southern France; Western, Byzantine, and Islamic influences come together; while contemporary art, architecture, literature, film, and music are some of the best the world has to offer.
