Many Coloured Mosque

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:56:28

This iconic mosque's famous facade murals have faded but it's notable for the bezistan (mini-bazaar) built into the stone arched arcade beneath the main prayerhouse.

Marking Travnik's centrepoint, there's been a mosque here since the 16th century. The current form dates from 1757, albeit largely reconstructed after a major fire in 1815.
