Bajrakli Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Dorćol district, Belgrade, Serbia.
Description
Bajrakli Mosque is a building with a cubic form, a dome, and an octagonal drum topped by a minaret that rises into the sky. The structure displays classic Ottoman features and defines the character of the street where it stands.
History
The building was constructed in 1668 and underwent conversion to a Catholic church during Austrian rule from 1717 to 1739. It returned to Islamic use after that period.
Culture
The mosque remains the last Islamic place of worship in Belgrade and serves the Muslim community as a space for regular prayer. It shapes the character of the neighborhood and shows how different faiths coexist in the city today.
Practical
The building is located in the old town at 11 Gospodar Jevremova Street. Visitors should wear appropriate dress and come at times outside of daily prayers.
Did you know?
The name Bajrakli comes from the practice of raising a flag to signal prayer times, as the word derives from Turkish meaning flag. This tradition is no longer in use, but the name preserves a memory of how the mosque once functioned.
