Ali Pasha's Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Centar Municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The mosque features a central dome covering the main prayer area, accompanied by three smaller domes adorning an outer cloister in Ottoman style.
Construction of the mosque occurred in 1561 under the direction of Sofu Hadım Ali Pasha, an Ottoman statesman who established it as a permanent endowment.
The architectural complex includes a mausoleum containing sarcophagi of Gajret activists Avdo Sumbul and Behdžet Mutevelić, who died in Arad dungeons.
Located in central Sarajevo, the mosque maintains regular prayer services while allowing visitors to examine its architectural details throughout the day.
The structure stands as the largest sub-dome mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina, demonstrating advanced engineering capabilities of 16th-century Ottoman builders.
