The last mosque designed by Mimar Sinan; 16th century.
The pierced railing sides of the mimbar are carved from a single piece of stone.
The New Mosque, also called the Yeni Mosque, was started in 1597 by the wife of Sultan Murad III. However, due to politics and some other set backs, it wasn't completed until 1663. With 66 domes adorning it's exterior and two mosques, it's design was based on that of the Blue Mosque. Istanbul, Turkey.
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.
