Karadzozbey mosque is considered to be the most beautiful mosque in the region of Herzegovina. With its big dome and high minaret it is also the biggest one. It was built by the Turkish architect Kodza Mimar Sinan in 1557. The size of the interior is 13,4x13,4 meters. This one, like all the other mosques in Mostar didn’t get pass the hand of the war. In the second world war it was severely damaged, and in the last Yugoslav-aggression on Bosnia & Herzegovina it was almost completely destroyed. However, today the mosque is rebuilt and ready to proudly once again receive visitors.
