Abstract

Osmanske sultanije bile su moćne i raspolagale su enormnim financijskim sredstvima, utjecale su na dobrobit šire javnosti na mnoge načine, no one su javnosti postale vidljivije i bolje prihvaćene kroz pokroviteljstvo u arhitekturi. To je posebno vidljivo postalo tijekom „doba vladavine žena“ kada su valide sultanije uživale dotad neviđenu, nevjerojatnu moć u politici i društvenim zbivanjima, te im je blagostanje koju je nosila ta visoka hijerarhijska pozicija omogućilo ulaganja u projekte kroz koje će afirmirati svoju moć. Pokroviteljice su osim tradicionalnih religijskih građevina također novčano podupirale gradnju mnogih građevina svjetovnog karaktera. Objekti poput tržnica, hamama i bolnica pomogli su oblikovati identitet osmanskih gradova te su na taj način sultanije doprinijele razvitku islamskog društva. Ono što je učinilo doprinos pokroviteljstva žena osmanskoj arhitekturi i vizurama gradova diljem Carstva važnim, jesu golemi razmjeri tih građevina. Spomenuta arhitektonska dostignuća nosila su imena svojih pokroviteljica te su poslužila uspostavljanju njihove moći, identiteta i imidža u gradu.

Abstract (english)

The Ottoman Sultanas were powerful and had enormous financial resources, they influenced the welfare of the general public in many ways, but they became more visible and better accepted by the public through patronage in architecture. This became especially visible during the "era of women's rule" when valide sultanas enjoyed unprecedented, incredible power in politics and social perspective, and the prosperity brought by that high hierarchical position enabled them to invest in projects through which they would affirm their power. In addition to traditional religious buildings, the female patrons also financially supported the construction of many buildings of a secular character. Facilities such as bazaars, hammams and hospitals helped in shaping the identity of Ottoman cities and contributed to the development of Islamic society. What made the contribution of women's patronage to Ottoman architecture and views of cities throughout the Empire important was the enormous scale of these buildings. The architectural achievements mentioned above bore the names of their female patrons and served in establishment of their power, identity and image in the city.
