Arnaudija Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Arnaudija Mosque displays traditional Ottoman features with a central dome, stone walls, and detailed Islamic ornamentation throughout its interior and exterior spaces.
The mosque, constructed in 1595 under Hasan Defterdar's direction, underwent complete destruction in 1993 during the Bosnian War and remained in ruins until 2017.
This religious structure represents an essential gathering space for Muslims in Banja Luka while maintaining its status as a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Located at coordinates 44.769944, 17.181778, the mosque reopened to visitors in May 2024 after extensive reconstruction efforts that lasted seven years.
The destruction and subsequent rebuilding of Arnaudija Mosque occurred within minutes of the nearby Ferhadija Mosque, marking a connected history between these structures.
