Emperor's Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Emperor's Mosque features a large central dome, elegant minaret, and stone construction accommodating 500 worshippers in its prayer halls.
Built in 1457 under Isa Bey Ishakovic's direction, the mosque underwent reconstruction in 1565 and received dedication to Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.
The mosque grounds include a cemetery containing the final resting places of important religious figures, including viziers, mullahs, muftis, and sheikhs.
Located near the Miljacka River, the mosque maintains regular prayer sessions and permits visitors to explore its architectural features during non-prayer times.
The mosque complex originally included a hammam and a bridge, forming the nucleus around which the earliest settlements of Sarajevo developed.
