Hamza-Begova Džamija
The country's only mosque with four minarets. Built in 2000 to replace a mosque destroyed by the Bosnian Serb army in 1992.
Right in the center, on the left bank, this mosque (Hamza-Begova Džamija) is the only one in the country with four minarets. It was erected in 2000 on the site of a 1984 mosque destroyed by the Bosnian Serb army in 1992. It is named after the Ottoman governor of Bosnia Hamza-Bey Biharović, a native of Sanski Most, who had the first mosque built here around 1555. The current building was inspired by the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. According to the donor, a dentist, the minarets (51.5 m high) symbolize his two brothers killed in 1992 "and all the martyrs of Bosnia".
