MOSQUÉE SULTAN AHMED

This elegant little stone mosque (Sultan Ahmedova Džamija/Султан Ахмедова Џамија) is also called "Emperor's Mosque" (Careva Džamija). It is dedicated to the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III (1703-1730). The original building was erected in 1719 by Osman Pasha Resulbegović during the creation of the old city. It was destroyed by Bosnian-Serb nationalists in 1992. The current replica dates from 2014. Across the street is the former medersa, now the headquarters of the Muslim community, where you can inquire about mosque tours.
