Atik Mosque

It is known that the Atik mosque, or Sava mosque, existed before 1651. From the very name Atik, which means old in Turkish, we can conclude that it is the oldest mosque in Brcko. It was originally made of wood and has been enlarged over time due to the increase in the number of believers in the city. The entire mosque was demolished on July 17, 1992. It was renovated in 2006 in its original form.
