BEHRAM-BEY MOSQUE
Neo-Moorish-style mosque built in 1888. Its bronze "kiosk" minaret is unusual in the Balkans.
This mosque (Behram-Begova Džamija) lies 100 m northwest of Freedom Square. Also known as Atik, Časna or Šarena, it was built during the Austro-Hungarian period, in 1888. It is distinguished by its neo-Moorish style and its minaret (22 m) featuring a bronze "kiosk" uncommon in the Balkans. However, it retains the name of a prominent Sufi who had an old mosque restored on this site in the 17th century. On the nearby traffic circle, the gateway to the Behram-Bey medersa, a Koranic school built in 1907 and destroyed in 1974, remains.
