Džamija Sultanije Esme
Go there and contact
The most important mosque in the walled city. A 2010 replica of the 1750 mosque destroyed during the last war.
This mosque (Džamija Sultanije Esme) is the largest of the fortified city's four mosques. It is a replica (2010) of the 1750 mosque destroyed by the Bosnian Serb army in 1992. With its dome and 29-metre-high minaret, it is one of the few mosques in the Balkans to bear a woman's name: tradition attributes the original edifice to Esma Sultan (1726-1788), daughter of Sultan Ahmed III. Next to it stand two monuments to the dead of the last war: one for the Bosnian inhabitants, the other for the Bosnian-Croat soldiers.
