Šerefudin's White Mosque, Modern mosque in Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Serefudin's Mosque is a modern sacred structure made of concrete with five distinctive roof windows that cast geometric light into the prayer hall. The interior includes separate spaces for men and women, along with facilities for ritual washing positioned at the entrance.
The original structure dates from 1477, but was completely rebuilt following architect Zlatko Ugljen's design and finished in 1980. This reconstruction took place during a time of major changes in the region.
The mosque is named after its founder Serefudin and reflects in its design the connection between modern thinking and Islamic values. Visitors immediately notice how the five roof windows channel light into the prayer space while carrying deep meaning for worshippers.
The prayer hall has separate entrance areas for men and women, with washing facilities located at the entry via a descending ramp. Plan time to explore the space thoughtfully and respect prayer times when visiting the mosque.
Inside the prayer hall stands a reflective element within the wooden altar that allows the imam to see the entire congregation while performing duties at the altar. This detail reveals how the design skillfully merges practical and spiritual needs.
