Husein-paša's Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Pljevlja, Montenegro.

The mosque features a rectangular base topped with a low-pitched dome, an open porch with three domes, and one of the highest minarets in the Balkans.

Constructed between 1573 and 1594 under the patronage of Husein-pasha Boljanic, the mosque represents a period of strong Ottoman influence in the Balkan region.

The interior walls display polychrome paintings with floral motifs and Quranic inscriptions, while the collection includes manuscripts and books in Arabic and Turkish.

The religious building maintains regular prayer services and welcomes visitors who wish to explore the architectural elements and historical manuscripts.

The minaret underwent reconstruction in 1911 following a lightning strike, resulting in a taller and more slender design than the original structure.
