Very beautiful to pass by in the evening and witness the harmonious ambience of prayers, naturally integrated in the landscape of a busy street of shops, coffee houses etc.

Gazi Husrev Bey’s Mosque, or Bey’s Mosque, as it is known locally, was built in the center of Baščaršija in 1530. Bey’s Mosque was designed by Adžem Esir Ali, a Persian from Tabriz, who was the chief architect in the Ottoman Empire at that time.

The mosque was built as part of a vakuf (endowment) established by the Ottoman Governor, Gazi Husrev Bey, who governed Bosnia, more or less continuously, from 1521 until his death in 1541.

Today, this mosque is rightly seen as the most important architectural monument from the time of Ottoman rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

There are many Bosnian leaders buried in the mosque’s courtyard, including Reis-ul-Ulema, Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević; the politician, Dr. Mehmed Spaho; the reformer, Ali Bey Firdus; the poet, Safvet Bey Bašagić.

An Ottoman mosque built in 1532.
Beautiful and lavishly decorated.
However only a small portion of it is opened to the public.
The ablution area is a little too far from the mosque.
There is no pavement or covered lane to the mosque.

It's the finest example of Ottoman Islamic architecture on the Balkan Peninsula. The original mosque was built in 1530 but was destroyed in 1697, and restored in 1762, and destroyed again in 1879. The last reconstruction was in 1886, but during the last war 1992-1995, it was damaged again, but most of its oriental design survived unscathed. It is the main mosque in the city

One of the most beautiful mosques in Europe and a perfect example of the Ottoman style of architecture. The entire complex irradiates peace and serenity, you don't have to be a religious person to feel the atmosphere. We were lucky enough to enjoy a private explanation by courtesy of a wonderful local guide. I recommend to plan your visit to hear the call of the muezzin from the minaret, it's very special.

The most important and most beautiful mosque in Sarajevo and Bosnia. A magnificent building that reflects a beautiful harmony and proportion and also has a breath-taking interior. Probably one of the most beautiful mosques on the continent of Europe.

Gorgeous mosque, worth a visit regardless of your beliefs. Tourist friendly, but, come ON people, have some respect! Women, wear long pants/skirt and men no tank tops. Bring a scarf or shawl if you want to enter or borrow one from outside. I saw some pretty rude looking people wandering around inside.

I had a chance to offer my maghrib prayer at this mosque and fell in love with the mesmerizing recitation of the Imam. The mosque has splendid interiors. The main hall has a separate section for ladies within the hall which reminds of the classical era of the Prophet PBUH. People inside are respectful of each other and everybody shakes hands with each not her and the imam after the prayers. Got to meet Muslim brothers from other countries as well. A living memory of the Ottoman caliphate. May Allah preserve this mosque.

One of the most attractive places for tourists. You don't have to go to Turkey to feel the presence of Ottoman times.

Nice authentic mosque, much more to see. This is the real place you must see when visiting Sarajevo.

Much better then the radical supporting mosque King Fahd.
