Osman Đikić (1879-1912) was a poet, playwright and editor from Mostar and one of the leading figures of the Bosniak cultural revival at the start of the twentieth century. He was among the founders of the cultural society Gajret, which supported the education of young Bosnian Muslims. His turbe stands in the courtyard of the Karađoz Bey Masjid on Fejićeva Street. It was designed in 1936 by the architect Aleksandar Deroko in the Moorish revival style, with a small dome and pointed arches of alternating red and white brick. The turbe was badly damaged in 1993 and has since been restored, and it is a short walk from the old bazaar.
