Muslihudin Čekrekčija Mosque
Muslihudin Čekrekčija Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Stari Grad, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The mosque displays a single dome above the prayer area, a 32-meter minaret, and construction materials including limestone, Turkish brick, and copper sheets.
Built in 1526 by Muslihudin Hajji Mustafa, the mosque survived undamaged during Eugene of Savoy's attack on Sarajevo, making it the second oldest domed mosque.
The founding document, vakufnam, represents the oldest written document in Sarajevo and includes provisions for 45 stores in the surrounding market area.
The mosque stands at the base of Kovači hill, within walking distance of other historical structures in the old merchant district of Sarajevo.
The founder earned the name Čekrekčija from his profession making pulleys and winches, which influenced the mosque's alternative name, Čekrekčinica.
