Baščaršija Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Baščaršija district, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Baščaršija Mosque features a central dome, an open portico covered by smaller cupolas, and a stone minaret that rises above the marketplace.

A manuscript from 1528 mentions a neighborhood around Havadža Durak Masjid, indicating the mosque existed before that date as one of Sarajevo's earliest religious structures.

The mosque stands as a central element of Islamic religious practice in Sarajevo's old trading center, where daily prayers continue since the Ottoman period.

Visitors can access the mosque for thirty minutes before and after prayer times throughout the week, with separate entrance areas for men and women.

The mosque's courtyard contains a small fountain and two tall poplar trees, creating a defined space within the commercial district of Baščaršija.
