Old Hamam (Vushtrri)
The Old Hamam of Vushtrri (also known as the Gazi Ali Bey Hamam) is one of the oldest and most prominent monuments in Vučitrn, Kosovo. History Gazi Ali Bey Hamam is located in the old city center of Vučitrn, and was built by Gazi Ali Bey at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. Public baths were included for both sexes. The technically sophisticated building is an example of a "Tek" hamam, including a large lobby covered by a massive octagonal dome, a second room for heating and cleaning, and two alcoves paved with white marble for each gender to bathe. A ''kurna'' (stone bath) in each alcove was supplied by the central hot water tank. The women's alcove is similar in design to that in the Peć Hamam. Clearly, the structure was built in two stages: the original floor and the three lower domes, the first; followed by the outer entryway of volcanic tuff dating to the 17th century and spanning the entire perimeter of the building. Unused since the 1970s, the facility was ren ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Roof Tiles
Roof tiles are designed mainly to keep out rain, and are traditionally made from locally available materials such as terracotta or slate. Modern materials such as concrete, metal and plastic are also used and some clay tiles have a waterproof glaze. Roof tiles are 'hung' from the framework of a roof by fixing them with nails. The tiles are usually hung in parallel rows, with each row overlapping the row below it to exclude rainwater and to cover the nails that hold the row below. There are also roof tiles for special positions, particularly where the planes of the several pitches meet. They include ridge, hip and valley tiles. These can either be bedded and pointed in cement mortar or mechanically fixed. Similarly to roof tiling, tiling has been used to provide a protective weather envelope to the sides of timber frame buildings. These are hung on laths nailed to wall timbers, with tiles specially molded to cover corners and jambs. Often these tiles are shaped at the exposed e ...

Mortar (masonry)
Mortar is a workable paste which hardens to bind building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units, to fill and seal the irregular gaps between them, spread the weight of them evenly, and sometimes to add decorative colors or patterns to masonry walls. In its broadest sense, mortar includes pitch, asphalt, and soft mud or clay, as those used between mud bricks, as well as cement mortar. The word "mortar" comes from Old French ''mortier'', "builder's mortar, plaster; bowl for mixing." (13c.). Cement mortar becomes hard when it cures, resulting in a rigid aggregate structure; however, the mortar functions as a weaker component than the building blocks and serves as the sacrificial element in the masonry, because mortar is easier and less expensive to repair than the building blocks. Bricklayers typically make mortars using a mixture of sand, a binder, and water. The most common binder since the early 20th century is Portland cement, but the ancient binder lim ...

Thatching
Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge (''Cladium mariscus''), rushes, heather, or palm branches, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof. Since the bulk of the vegetation stays dry and is densely packed—trapping air—thatching also functions as insulation. It is a very old roofing method and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates. Thatch is still employed by builders in developing countries, usually with low-cost local vegetation. By contrast, in some developed countries it is the choice of some affluent people who desire a rustic look for their home, would like a more ecologically friendly roof, or who have purchased an originally thatched abode. History Thatching methods have traditionally been passed down from generation to generation, and numerous descriptions of the materials and methods used in Europe over the past three centuries survive in archives and early publica ...

Limestone
Limestone ( calcium carbonate ) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime. It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of . Limestone forms when these minerals precipitate out of water containing dissolved calcium. This can take place through both biological and nonbiological processes, though biological processes, such as the accumulation of corals and shells in the sea, have likely been more important for the last 540 million years. Limestone often contains fossils which provide scientists with information on ancient environments and on the evolution of life. About 20% to 25% of sedimentary rock is carbonate rock, and most of this is limestone. The remaining carbonate rock is mostly dolomite, a closely related rock, which contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, . ''Magnesian limestone'' is an obsolete and poorly-defined term used variously for dolomite, for limes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Straw
Straw is an agricultural byproduct consisting of the dry stalks of cereal plants after the grain and chaff have been removed. It makes up about half of the yield of cereal crops such as barley, oats, rice, rye and wheat. It has a number of different uses, including fuel, livestock bedding and fodder, thatching and basket making. Straw is usually gathered and stored in a straw bale, which is a bale, or bundle, of straw tightly bound with twine, wire, or string. Straw bales may be square, rectangular, or round, and can be very large, depending on the type of baler used. Uses Current and historic uses of straw include: * Animal feed **Straw may be fed as part of the roughage component of the diet to cattle or horses that are on a near maintenance level of energy requirement. It has a low digestible energy and nutrient content (as opposed to hay, which is much more nutritious). The heat generated when microorganisms in a herbivore's gut digest straw can be useful in ...

Zymer Musiqi House
The Zymer Musiqi House is a cultural heritage monument in Cecelija, Vushtrri, Kosovo. History The house, which was once the property of the Musiqi and Mulaku families, is located in a village named after Saint Cecilia, registered within the Sanjak of Vushtrri as Çeçelije in the 1537 defter of the Eyalet of Rumelia. It lies on both hillsides beside a valley about northeast of Vushtrri. Several beys from Vushtrri settled here, founding the Berisha that predominates in the area today. A craftsman named Dibran is held in local folklore to have built the house as one of the first of its kind and the first school in the region in the early 17th century. The house was built of stone and wood with a straw-based mortar. The ground floor includes soft limestone and wood with walls about thick, while the first floor uses the aforementioned thatch mortar albeit less on the north side. The roof is tile and stretches out into a 1-m awning. There are two entrances, one northward and on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Made of carved stone, the protective wall reaches a height of and is topped with a two-layer wood-braced roof covered with local tile. The village school and the lord's tower house originally stood nearby but have been lost. In the early 20th century, the Kajtazi family bought the property. The wall has never collapsed or been breached save for a section of to intentionally leveled for the family construction. Exterior stabilization by the family is the only renovation made so far.< See also * Sanjak of Viçitrina * |
