When Piri Reis sailed around the Mediterranean, mapping every inch of coastline, it was the height of the Renaissance. The Renaissance, literally meaning “rebirth,” was a period of revival of classical thoughts in economics, politics, and art, which will be the center of attention for this episode. From vivid depictions of the Piazza San Marco to the fountains of lions, Piri reflects a surprising Ottoman fascination with Italian Renaissance art.

Although unidentified in the popular show, Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik, serves as the center of action of the Kingdom of Westeros, King’s Landing. Made famous by the show, this Croatian town has become a center for heavy tourist traffic. However, what remains recognized is the historical similarities between the real city and its imagined counterpart. This episode will dive into Dubrovnik’s cultural, economic, and strategic significance as a crucial port city in the Mediterranean in the Early Modern period. We will explore the city through the notable Book of Navigation by the Ottoman Navy admiral and cartographer Piri Reis.
