Mevlevi tekke in Sarajevo, Sufi lodge in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Mevlevi tekke features gardens, meditation spaces, and traditional Ottoman architectural elements within its religious complex in central Sarajevo.

Constructed in the late 15th century following Isa Bey Ishaković's arrival in 1458, this Sufi lodge became a spiritual center for the Mevlevi Order.

The tekke hosts Sema ceremonies where dervishes perform spiritual dances, combining religious practices with musical and poetic expressions of devotion.

Located near the Miljacka River, the complex includes the Ebu Hajat spring, which provides water for drinking and religious ablutions.

A small cave at the base of the hill served as a 40-day solitary retreat space for dervishes seeking spiritual enlightenment.
