Istiklal Masjid was a gift from the people of Indonesia to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Work began in 1995, during the war, and the mosque was completed and opened in September 2001. Its name echoes the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, and it is often called the Indonesian mosque. The Indonesian architect Fauzan Noe'man designed it as a modern interpretation of Islamic architecture. A copper-coloured dome 27 metres across sits between two 48-metre minarets, which are said to stand for the two nations. Inside, the mihrab, minbar and window frames carry Indonesian floral wood carving, a rare sight in the Balkans.
