Christianisation of mosques in Dalmatia: Recontextualisation of Sacral Architecture

Abstract

Cet article examine neuf cas de conversion de mosquée en église dans la Dalmatie vénitienne du début de l’époque moderne En les intégrant au domaine de l’histoire de l’architecture et à la discussion sur la conversion des espaces sacrés, l’auteur les considère davantage comme des monuments complexes offrant plusieurs niveaux d’analyse et non comme de simples curiosités. L’accent est mis sur la christianisation de ces monuments, un processus qui découle de l’adaptation du nouveau contexte politique et religieux. Ce processus est abordé dans un premier temps, par une analyse comparative d’exemples connus et de sources existantes provenant des archives régionales de l’État, des diocèses et des franciscains. Puis, à la suite d’une brève étude d’autres cas connus dans la région, les anciennes mosquées de Klis, Vrgorac et Drniš seront abordées en profondeur. Enfin, nous analyserons des cas connus d’hybridation des formes architecturales au xviiie siècle dans la région de Drniš. Nos observations reposent sur la façon dont les contemporains de l’époque lisent la forme des monuments sacrés originellement ottomans et comment ils les adaptent sémantiquement et physiquement aux récits et pratiques catholiques (et vénitiens). La dédicace à la Vierge (principalement du Rosaire) est liée à la politique populaire vénitienne invoquant des victoires tenues pour être à son intercession. Diverses modifications matérielles apportées aux mosquées dalmates sont comparables à celles des terres nouvellement acquises par les Habsbourg, fournissant une base pour une analyse future plus large.

The following article examines nine cases of mosque-to-church conversion in Early Modern Venetian Dalmatia incorporating them into the field of architectural history and the discussion on the conversion of sacral spaces not as curiosities but as multi-layered monuments. Emphasis is put on Christianisation as an adaptation process of these monuments to the new political and religious context. The process is explored through the comparative analysis of known examples and surviving sources from regional State, Diocesan, and Franciscan archives. After a short survey of other known cases in the region, the former mosques in Klis, Vrgorac, and Drniš are explored in-depth, followed by the analysis of known 18th-century cases of the hybridity of architectural forms in the Drniš area. Observations are made on how the contemporaries read the form of originally Ottoman Islamic sacral monuments and how they adapt them both semantically and physically to Catholic (and Venetian) narratives and practices. The dedication to the Virgin (prevalently of the Rosary) is linked to Venetian popular politics invoking victories held to be at her intercession. Various material changes made to Dalmatian mosques are comparable to those in newly acquired Habsburg lands, providing a basis for future wider analysis.
