Osman Pazvantouglu Mosque
It is a massive stone building with strictly oriented architecture. The minaret of the mosque ends with stylized triangle instead of the usual Islamic crescent. It is probably an inverted heart as a symbol for unrequited love. According to the old tradition, due to the different religious confession, people in the town of Vidin used to have their feelings misunderstood by each other, which impeded the town's development. Among the unease, Osman Pazvantoglu had an inclusive love towards his Christian neighbors, so the moque he built was also nicknamed as the "Heart Mosque".
