Sultan Murat II Mosque

The Sultan Murat II Mosque features two minarets and five domes, constructed with brick materials following traditional Ottoman architectural patterns.

Built in 1450 during the reign of Sultan Murat II, the mosque underwent major reconstructions in 1967 by the Islamic Council and received additional renovations in 2008.

The mosque contains a turbe from 1854 dedicated to Muhamed Užičanin, a Bosniak writer who defended justice for the local population until 1750.

The building received a renovation fund of 65,000 euros from the Turkish ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro in 2005 to maintain its structural integrity.

The mosque represents the largest Islamic religious structure in Montenegro, combining traditional house architecture of Rožaje with Ottoman mosque design elements.
