Ali Pasha Mosque (Sarajevo)
The Ali Pasha Mosque ( Bosnian Alipašina džamija / Алипашина џамија) is a mosque in Sarajevo ( Bosnia and Herzegovina ).
history
The complex was built from 1560 to 1561 as a Vakuf (pious foundation) of the governor Hadim Ali-Pasha, who died shortly before it was built. Restored in 1894, the mosque was seriously affected by Serbian attacks during the Bosnian War , but it was restored in 2004 and inscribed on the list of national monuments in 2005.

The mosque, built in the “classical” style, is built on a square floor plan (cf. the Aladža mosque in Foča ). The mighty dome rests on trumpets . The interior with mihrab and minbar is adorned with stalactites, profiled cornices and ornaments engraved in stone. The vestibule, supported by four marble columns with capitals and profiled bases, connected by pointed arches, is surmounted by three smaller domes, the middle of which is somewhat elevated. The minaret is in direct contact with the wall. Inside the building complex there is a Türbe with two sarcophagi of the political-religious activists of the association Gajret Avdo Sumbul and Behdžet Mutevelić who died in 1915.
