MOSQUÉE BABA BEŠIR
Go there and contact
Mosque featuring a courtyard with a moving cemetery of old nişans, at the entrance to Balinovac, one of Mostar's oldest.
Located at the entrance to Balinovac, the westernmost district of the city, this mosque (Baba Beširova Džamija) is one of the oldest in Mostar. Surrounded by walls, it was founded around 1570 by Beşir Ağa, an officer in the Ottoman army who received the honorary title of baba ("father" in Turkish). Blown up in May 1993, along with the Hadži Ali-bey Lafa Mosque, it was rebuilt in 2000. The center of a small community of Bosnians who returned to settle in Balinovac after the war, its courtyard houses a moving cemetery with old nişans.
