Emperors Mosque

The Emperor's Mosque is an important mosque in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was built by Isa-bey Ishakovich-Hranushich, as the first mosque in Sarajevo, in 1457 and it was dedicated to the Sultan Mehmed the 2nd, El-Fatih.

First settlements in Sarajevo were built around the mosque, and afterwards the residence of the Sultan's representative was built next to the mosque. Isa-bey also built a hammam (public bath), the bridge that led directly to the mosque (it was disassembled during the Austro-Hungarian government and rebuilt just a few meters upstream, where it still exists).
