Cula Duca

[RO] Cula, parte a unui program de arhitectură din spațiul cultural est-european, astăzi dispărut, este un tip de construcție răspândit în Peninsula Balcanică, cu precădere în Serbia, Albania și Bulgaria. La nord de Dunăre, în România, este prezent în Oltenia și vestul Munteniei.

Termenul derivă din cuvântul turcesc "kula", care înseamnă turn. În arhitectura românească, definește un anumit tip de locuință fortificată, cu volumetrie simplă și compactă, cu plan pătrat sau dreptunghiular, având două sau trei nivele, cu rol de apărare și de veghe, dar și de locuire.

[EN] 

Kula, which is now part of a wide, yet forgotten, architectural project covering the East-European cultural realm, is a sort of building that will be encountered almost everywhere in the Balkan Peninsula, and mostly in Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia. Kulas were also built North of the Danube, in Romania, more specifically in the historical provinces of Oltenia and Western Muntenia (Southern Romania).

"Kula" is the Turkish word for "tower". In the Romanian architecture, Kula is a fortified two/three-storey-building of a compact and simple shape and sizing, having a square or rectangular cross-section, which was used for defence, observation, distress signalling and residential purposes.
