Автор: Maria Georgopoulou Название: Venices Mediterranean Colonies - Architecture and Urbanism Издательство: Cambridge University Press Год: 2010 Формат: PDF Страниц: 396 Язык: English Размер: 53 MB This book examines the architecture and urbanism in the Venetian colonies of the Eastern Mediterranean and how their built environments express the close cultural ties with both Venice and Byzantium. Using the island of Crete and its capital city, Candia(modern Herakleion)as a case study, Maria Georgopoulou exposes the dynamic relationship that existed between colonizer and colony. Georgopoulou demonstrates how the Venetian colonists manipulated Crete's past history in order to support and legitimate colonial rule, particularly through the appropriation of older Byzantine traditions in civic and religious ceremonies.
