Havadža
Durak
Mosque,
better
known
as
Baščaršija
Mosque,
is
located
on
the
main
square
of
Sarajevo’s
old
trading
center
– Baščaršija.
It
is
not
known,
exactly,
when
the
mosque
was
built,
but
a
manuscript
from
1528
mentions
a
neighborhood
around
Havadža
Durak
Masjid,
so
the
mosque
must
have
been
built
before
that
year.
Baščaršija
Mosque
has
one
main
dome
and
an
open
portico
which
is
covered
by
smaller
cupolas,
and
there’s
the
adjacent
stone
minaret.
While
the
courtyard
of
the
mosque
is
not
very
large,
it’s
quite
pretty
and
is
like
a
little
oasis
in
the
center
of
Baščaršija,
with
its
small
fountain,
roses
and
two
tall
poplar
trees.
The
mosque
was
badly
damaged
during
the
last
war
(1992-1995),
after
which
it
underwent
major
reconstruction.
Baščaršija
Mosque
was
named
a
National
Monument
of
Bosnia
and
Herzegovina
in
2006.
