Haji Alibey Mosque

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:55:18

Paired photogenically with the Sahat Kula (stone clock tower) towards the bus station end of Travnik's main street, this two-storey mosque's most immediately distinctive features are the green wooden filigree on its frontage, faded paintwork on the door arch, a metal tipped minaret and two old inscription stones in Arabic.

However, what makes it is unique in Bosnia is that it retains a sun dial (solar 'clock') on its southwest wall, the corner that juts out into the wooded garden behind. Don't expect too much – it's just a metal spike on a heavily worn inscribed stone.
