Summary
| Description | Built in 1566 on a site of the former mosque by Isa-Bey Ishakovic in 1457, the mosque was dedicated to Fatih Sultan Mehmet II and therefore later became known among people as the Tsar’s mosque. The original mosque was a complex with additional amenities such as saray (this means “court”—the name of Sarajevo derives from “saray”) and bridge. Osman Sehdi Bjelopoljac built a library in the mosque’s yard in 1759—this was the first public library in Sarajevo. In 1853 Fadil-pasha Serifovic built a muvekithana (observatory) used to measure time by the position of the stars and in 1857/58 he built a madrasah (Secondary Islamic School). Both were pulled down in 1910 in order to built the Residence of the Grand Mufti designed by Karel Pařik. The yard has over a hundred tombs, one of them assumed to belong to Isa-bey Ishakovic. |
