This is straight up the most important mosque in the country. Its Ottoman architectural style was very daring when first built and is even now considered one of the finest in the world. Things to note include:

• Multiple domes
• Glass and rock ornamentation
• The twice restored arabesque.
• Stalactite ornamentation under the dome.
• Polychromatic decoration and a use of natural light to create a greater sense of space.

Most of the intricacy of the interior has been lost unfortunately; during the Siege of Sarajevo, the Serbian forces deliberately damaged much of the city’s heritage.

• Closed on Ramadan.
• Men can keep their shoed on, but women must cover their hair with a scarf or shawl.
• The window for visitation is very narrow.

• Dulagin Dvor
• Barhana
• Index
