Aguševi Konaci (Aga's Konaks), enclosed living room on upper level
Mogilica (Mogilitsa), Bulgaria
This large corner room on the upper floor of the northern konak is called a kiosk (кьошк, k'ošk), richly appointed in woodwork and textiles, a space for special gatherings. With windows on three sides, this space overlooks the second and third courtyards and the slate roofs of buildings below. The carved wooden ceiling is especially ornate, a testament to the builders' talents.
