FERHADIJA MOSQUE
Go there and contact
A 2016 replica of the 1579 mosque that once formed the center of the town and was destroyed by Serbian nationalists in 1993.
This mosque (Džamija Ferhadija/Џамија Ферхадија) lies south of the main street, 350 m from Krajina Square. It's a replica of the one razed to the ground in 1993 by Serbian nationalists. Considered one of the most beautiful mosques in the country, it was founded in 1579 by Ferhat Pacha Sokolović, creator of modern Banja Luka, and formed the center of the city for centuries. After fifteen years of administrative blockades, reconstruction was completed in 2016. Everything has been reconstructed, from the rich interior decor to the 41.65 m-high minaret.
