About this building
The mosque was built in 1618 on the initiative of Mehmed Koskija, the chronicler of the great vizier Lala Mehmed Sokolovic. The building suffered considerable damage during the Bosnian War (1992-1995). It was restored in the late 90s and since then has become one of the main tourist attractions in the city. The mosque is open to visitors who can also climb to the top of the minaret.
