Log pod Mangartom Mosque

The mosque featured a carved wooden porch, white stone walls, a domed roof, and a square minaret characteristic of Herzegovinian architectural style.

Constructed by Bosnian Muslim soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army in 1916, the mosque supported troops stationed on the Isonzo Front during World War I.

The mosque represented the first purpose-built Islamic place of worship in Slovenian territory, marking the presence of Muslim soldiers in the region.

Located near a military cemetery containing 102 graves, the mosque provided religious services to Muslim soldiers until their departure after World War I.

The structure remained documented through six photographs taken by local residents before its demolition in the 1920s under Italian administration.
