Aladža Džamija
A 2018 replica of the "Pearl of Bosnia", a superb 1549 mosque destroyed by Bosnian-Serb nationalists in 1992.
This mosque (Aladža Džamija/Алаџа Џамија) dates from 2018. It's a faithful replica of the one erected here in 1549. Nicknamed the "Pearl of Bosnia", it was razed to the ground by Bosnian Serb forces in 1992. It was designed by Hasan Nezir, a pupil and friend of the great architect Mimar Sinan. The building features a large copper-clad dome, a three-domed porch and is flanked by a 36 m-high minaret. Its rich interior decoration earned it the name of "colored" mosque(alaca in Turkish). Location: along the Čehotina river (right bank).
