The Gazi Husrev Beg Mosque (Bosnian Husrev-begova džamija, Turkish Gazi Hüsrev Bey Camii), also shortened to Begova Mosque (Begova džamija) from 1530/31 (building inscription) in Sarajevo is the largest and one of the oldest mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina Herzegovina.

It was built on behalf of Gazi Husrev Beg (Turkish: Hüsrev Beğ/Bey), a nephew of Sultan Bayezid II during the period of the court architect Acem Esir Ali (also: Alaüddin, Acem Alisi), the predecessor of the famous Mimar Sinan. As with many other major projects of the time, craftsmen from Ragusa (Dubrovnik) were also involved in the construction.

Gazi Husrev Beg Mosque is an Early Classic style domed mosque with dome and semi-dome over the prayer room. The main prayer room has a square floor plan with a side length of 13 meters; the peak height of the overlying dome is 26 meters. The mosque has a nave with a semi-dome and two side naves. The arcades of the porch rest on four capitalized marble columns. The minaret is 47 meters high. In the courtyard of the mosque there is a fountain (šedrvan, Turkish: şadırvan), the mausoleums (Turben) of Gazi Huzrev Beg and Gazi Murat Beg and several tombs, including those of Mehmed Spaho.

A place of tranquility. Visitation is unproblematic. Women are also provided with head coverings (if necessary).

A truly beautiful mosque 🕌 ... even if you're not Muslim, you can visit outside of prayer times. 🥾🥾
