The introduction of Islam ushered in an era of social and cultural change to the region. Some pre-Islamic sacred places have been transformed into Islamic ones, and the cult of saints absorbed elements of both local and Arab mythology. This volume which is a project initiated by the Balkan History Association, focuses on Islamic culture, traditions, and pre-Islamic beliefs in Central Asia. The chapters emphasize the importance of religious life, the significance of certain "sacred places," and their role in the socio-spiritual life. The volume includes research spanning a period from antiquity to the Post-Soviet era to explore how landscapes of religious places and practices were interpreted and reinterpreted through time.

Mihai Dragnea is president of the Balkan History Association and associate researcher at the University of South-Eastern Norway.
Dorina Dragnea is vice-president of the Balkan History Association and currently works at the National Institute of Heritage, Bucharest.
Antonio Alonso Marcos is professor of political science at the CEU San Pablo University.
