Patrimoine islamique à Stari Grad

Sarajevo's Islamic Heritage

Sarajevo's Islamic architecture reflects centuries of Ottoman history, centered around the historic Baščaršija district. This collection features the 16th-century Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, the city's largest, alongside the Emperor's Mosque, the oldest in Sarajevo. The list includes neighborhood 'mahala' mosques, the historic Alifakovac cemetery with its unique stone monuments, and the Hadži Sinan Tekke, a center for Sufi tradition. These sites illustrate the evolution of Islamic design from the early 15th century through the high Ottoman period.
