Summary:	The significance of studying urban life and cities in the Balkans under Ottoman rule has long been recognized by modern academia, yet a detailed study of individual cities remains scarce. This monograph seeks to bridge htis gap by delving into the rich history of Ottoman-era Plovdiv (Filibe), modern Bulgaria's second-largest city. Drawing from the latest advancements in digital urban geo-humanities, this study positions Plovdiv as a windows into the diverse human activities during the formative centuries of Ottoman governance. Moving beyond the constraints of convenetional historical approaches, the book integrates spatial, architectural, and population data into a cohesive, georeferenced digital model of a city, allowing for a detailed exploration of urban landscape transformations and human presence over time and space. The book fosters a dialogue between urban space, Islamic architecture, and the cities residents by proposing an analytical model that can serve as a potent methodological framework for studying other cities in the Balkans.
