  The Emperor's Mosque (Bosnian: Careva Džamija, Turkish: Hünkâr Camii) is an important landmark in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, being the first mosque in the Sarajevo area to be built (1457) after the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia. It is the largest single-subdome mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina, built in the classical Ottoman style of the era. It was built by Isa-bey Ishaković-Hranušić, the founder of the city of Sarajevo, who dedicated it to the Sultan, Mehmed the Conqueror (Fatih) - the conqueror of Constantinople and Bosnian Kingdom. Considered one of the most beautiful mosques of the Ottoman period in the Balkans, the mosque features a roomy interior and high quality decorative details, such as the mihrab. HISTORY The original mosque was built in the mid-fifteenth century and has a long and fascinating history. Damaged and totally destroyed in fire at the end of that century, it was rebuilt in 1565 and dedicated this time to Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent, who autorized giving money from the central empire's budget (Hazna) for rebuilding it. Interesting fact is that Sultan Suleyman in the same period also gave money of Hazna for building Dome on the Rock in Jerusalem in its current shape which is the visual synonym of Jerusalem, Palestine and Israel. The first mosque was made of wood and significantly smaller than existing building that was built in 1565. Side rooms were added in 1800 and connected to the central prayer area in 1848. Between 1980 and 1983 the painted decorations in the interior of the mosque were conserved and restored. The burial ground (graveyard) beside the Emperor's Mosque contains the graves of viziers, mullahs, muftis, sheikhs, the employees in the Emperor's Mosque, along with other prominent figures living in Sarajevo. The mosque was damaged during World War II, but mostly in the Bosnian war 1992-1996 during the almost four-year siege of Sarajevo by the Serbian and Serb para-milatay forces. During the Bosnian war The Emperor's Mosque was havely roceted by doesnts of artillery shells, like the rest of the city. Restauration of the extirior is finished, enterior restauration is pending. The first settlements in Sarajevo were built around the mosque with the residence of the Sultan's representatives then being built next to the mosque. Isa-bey also built a hammam (public bath) and a bridge that led directly to the mosque. This bridge was disassembled during the Austro-Hungarian government and bulit a new one out of concrete just a few meters upstream where it still exists today. On the other side of the river, he built a caravansarai (hotel like facility with place for horces). For the financing of these facilities, Isa-bey left a heritage of many shops, land and properties.

  hünkar cami saraybosna. ben camiyi uygulama ve tarz olarak şanlıurfa balıklı göl yakınındaki hasanpaşa camisine çok benzettim. şablon çok net osmanlı mimarisi. Caminin İshakoğlu İsa Bey tarafından Fatih Sultan Mehmed’e hediye edildiği biliniyor. Klasik Osmanlı mimarisine sahip olan cami, 1480’de Sırpların Saraybosna’ya yaptığı saldırıda yandı. Cami, 1565’te Kanunî Sultan Süleyman tarafından yeniden inşaa ettirildi. mutlaka görün.

  신발을 벗고 내부에 들어가려던 순간 한 아저씨가 붙잡길래 옷차림에 문제가 있나 싶었다. 복장 문제가 있긴 했지만 그것보다 이 분은 동양인이 이 모스크에 들어가는 걸 보고 감사히 생각했던 것 같다. 모스크에 대해 설명을 듣기 위해 대화를 이어갔는데, 이슬람교 교리만 30분 이상 들었다. 종교가 없는 내게 종교인이 초롱초롱한 눈으로 설교한 건 하루이틀이 아니지만, 한국 내에서 상당히 많은 오해와 혐오를 받고 있는 이슬람 - 그들의 집인 모스크 안에서 영어로 설교를 듣고 있는 건 이슬람이라는 종교를 진지하게 대한 첫 순간이었다.

  Još jedno mjesto na kojem odmah iza vrata džamijskog harema utihne svakodnevna užurbanost, brujanje motora, žamor izmješanih nota svakodnevnice. Na ulasku proučite Fatihu merhumima i utopite svoj nemir u tišinu ovog svetog mjesta, najradije na sedždi ili onako kako vam je svojstveno ...
