Log pod Mangartom Mosque, Military mosque in Log pod Mangartom, Slovenia
The Log pod Mangartom Mosque was a structure with white stone walls, a domed roof, and a square minaret in Herzegovinian style. Adjacent to it stood a cemetery containing the graves of soldiers who had worshipped there.
Built in 1916 by Bosnian Muslim soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army, it served troops on the Isonzo Front during World War I. After the war ended, it was demolished in the 1920s when the territory came under Italian control.
The mosque served as a place of worship for Muslim soldiers stationed in the region during World War I. It reflected the daily life and presence of this community in Slovenian territory.
The building no longer exists today as it was demolished in the 1920s. Visitors can still visit the former site and see the cemetery that remains standing.
The building survives only through six photographs taken by local residents before it was demolished. These images remain the only visual record of this rare wartime place of worship.
