Abstract
Ottoman ardıitecture reached its classical and most prolific period during the reign of Süleyman the Magnificent. In this paper I shall discuss a number of majör architectural monuments sponsored by Süleyman I. However, I wil be looking not so much at the buildings themselves, as at the fact that they were put up at particular times and places. The construction of these buildings can be discussed in terms of political process. I will view their patronage, monumental quality and the use of architectural elements as acts of statescret — acts which are as fundamentally political as is the levying of taxes, the drafting of soldiers or the vvaging of war.
