Tabhanska mosque, Historic mosque in Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Tabhanska mosque is a single-room mosque with a wooden minaret on the left bank of the Fojnica river in central Visoko. Its prayer hall measures about 9 by 9 metres, and a porch with sofas and 15 wooden columns, 9 by 4.50 metres, stands on the entrance facade. The hipped roof is covered with tiles, and the octagonal wooden minaret rises 15 metres from the roof ridge.

The tabaci (leather tanners) of Visoko, recorded in the first half of the 17th century, built the mosque by the Fojnica river; their guild even had its own bajrak. Fires and floods repeatedly damaged it, and in 1871 the Fojnica swept away the tabhana, the stupa and the mosque. The present building dates from 1872. Damaged in the 1990s war, it was declared a National Monument in 2003, and conservation ran from 2005 to 2015.

The name comes from the tabaci, leather tanners whose workshops, tabhane, stood nearby; their guild was strong enough to raise the mosque and even had its own bajrak with two tuga. Twenty nišans from the early 19th century stand in the harem, in the forms used for agas, ulema and dervishes.

The mosque stands on the left bank of the Fojnica river in central Visoko, with the entrance porch facing the main facade. The prayer hall measures about 9 by 9 metres, and the porch is 9 by 4.5 metres. Restoration and landscaping around the mosque ran from 2005 to 2015 and were not fully completed, so some areas may still be unfinished.

The wooden minaret rises 15 m from the roof ridge, its eight-sided shaft clad in pine boards with joints hidden by battens, topped by a sheet-metal tent roof and an alem with two apples. The 90 cm parapet of the eight-columned šerefa is a detail visitors rarely notice from the ground.
