Sarajevo
يقع المسجد الأبيض في فراتنيك، الحي القديم المسوّر المطلّ على سراييفو، بجوار ثكنات يايتسه السابقة. أسّسه مع كُتّاب الحاج حيدر، وهو كاتب في الديوان ازدهرت…
The White Masjid stands on Vratnik, the old walled quarter above Sarajevo, beside the former Jajce barracks. It was founded together with a mekteb by Hajji Hajdar, a scribe of the divan who prospered in the service of Gazi Husrev Bey. He passed away in 1545 on his way back from the Hajj and is buried in a turbe in the mosque's courtyard. The mosque has a slender stone minaret, and a fountain fed from a stone reservoir was added along the courtyard in 1815. It was shelled during the war of 1992-95 and later thoroughly restored, and together with its mekteb, fountain and turbe it was declared a national monument in 2015. The Yellow Fortress is a short walk away.
