The Gazi Husrev-bey Mosque is a mosque in the city of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is considered the most important Islamic structure in the country and one of the world's finest examples of Ottoman architecture.
The Gazi Husrev-bey Mosque was built by the famous Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, who would later go on to build the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne for the Sultan Selim I. The mosque was financed in 1531 by Gazi Husrev-beg, the provincial governor of Bosnia. Gazi Husrev-beg is widely considered Sarajevo's greatest patron, as he financed much of Sarajevo's old city at this time.
Magnificent stalactite ornamentation in the angles under the dome and in the place where the imam leads the prayers, as well as other polychromatic decoration, valuable carpets and the light effects through the 51 windows produces a sense of greater space than there is in reality. At every time of prayer in this mosque, the great benefactor Gazi Husrev-beg is remembered.
In his legacy, he stated: "Good deeds drive away evil, and one of the most worthy of good deeds is the act of charity, and the most worthy act of charity is one which lasts forever. Of all charitable deeds, the most beautiful is one that continually renews itself."
Gazi Husrev-beg also built the same mosque called Hüsreviye Mosque in Aleppo, Syria, between 1531 and 1534.

Gazi Husrev-Beg was a 15th-16th century Bosniak Bey (ruler of a Governorate in the Turkish Empire) who is considered as the main builder of Sarajevo. He was responsible for the construction of numerous mosques throughout the city, including the one that bears his name (shown in this picture), as well as the city's first library, medresa, school of Sufi philosophy, and clock tower (Sahat Kula).
Located at the heart of the Baščaršija district, the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque (often referred to as Begova Mosque) is one of the finest examples remaining in Sarajevo of Ottoman architecture. It is named the governor of Bosnia who financed its construction back in the 16th century (alongside many other important buildings in the historic old town).
The Gazi Husrev Bey Complex in Sarajevo is one of the main remaining testimonies of the Ottoman presence in the Balkans. The complex, sponsored by the Ottoman governor of Bosnia Gazi Husrev Bey, included a mosque, madrasa (Quranic school), khanqah (soup kitchen), hospice, library, khan, bazaar, public baths and two tombs. The ablution fountain in the courtyard, shown here, was redone centuries later in the Rococo style.
