The Ottoman Empire dominated the Mediterranean and the Middle East from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Within the land of Palestine, the city of Jerusalem which the Ottomans inherited occupied a special position. Much of the Old City today, ringed by its magnificent walls, is that created during the period of Ottoman rule. This new book presents for the first time a wide-ranging study of the different aspects of the Ottoman city.
