According to the link provided on this page to the "City of Belgrade - Islamic Community" website, the mosque was built in 1575. Also from this website, the number of mosques and masjids built by Ottomans in Belgrade is 273, not 80. I think some other historical information from this website could be incorporated here as well. --Dijan 11:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

The research attributed to Altay Suroy Recepoğlu, a Turkish-origin writer from Kosova, states that there were 240 mosques, 270 medreses, 10 Turkish baths, 26 fountains built during the Ottoman rule that lasted 346 years (ref in Turkish). In this article it also says he has documented proof for each one of the items. Btw, one of his books is called (ISBN: 9751727669) "Kosova'da Türk Kültürü veya Türkçe Düşünmek", meaning "Turkish Culture or Thinking in Turkish (language) in Kosovo". Maybe some information can be found. --Gokhan 12:28, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
