Nice Thursday morning reading: "Bird palaces, built on the walls of some mosques, madrasahs and mausoleums since the 16th century in the Ottoman Empire, serve as nests for birds and are still home to many bird species today. The structures, which were put forward as a work of aesthetic thought in both architectural and humanitarian terms, are also seen as a symbol of the compassion shown to living creatures in Ottoman civilization." https://lnkd.in/d5pXUXEY
