TheAli Pasha Mosque (Bosnian:Ali-pašina džamija;Turkish:Ali Paşa Camii) is amosque in theCentar neighbourhood ofSarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was constructed during 1560–61 as avakıf—the legacy or perpetual endowment—ofSofu Hadım Ali Pasha, anOttoman statesman who served as the governor of theBosnia Eyalet of the Ottoman Empire amongst other roles, after his death in September 1560.
The mosque was built according to the classicalOttoman architectural style. A dome covers the prayer area and three smaller domes cover the cloister. Its proportions make it the largest sub-dome mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The grounds of the complex contain a mausoleum (türbe) with twosarcophagi—those ofAvdo Sumbul and Behdžet Mutevelić,Gajret activists who died in the dungeons ofArad.
The Ali Pasha Mosque was heavily damaged bySerbian forces during theBosnian War of the early 1990s, especially the dome.[1] The most recent renovation of the mosque occurred in 2004; and, in January 2005, the Commission to Preserve National Monuments added the Ali Pasha Mosque to theList of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2]
