GAZANFER-BEY MOSQUE
A small mosque with a pretty, typically Bosnian wooden minaret used by the few Bosnian survivors who have returned to live in Višegrad.
This small mosque (Gazanfer-Begova Džamija/Газанфер-Бегова Џамија) has a lovely, typically Bosnian wooden minaret. It is a reconstruction (2012) of the original mosque erected around 1590 by Gazanfer bey, a Bosnian governor of the Ottoman Empire and friend of Mehmed Pasha Sokolović. Destroyed by the Serbian Chetniks in 1943 and rebuilt in 1989, it was razed by the Bosnian Serb army in 1993. Like the Emperor's Mosque(Careva Džamija, 200 m to the northeast), it is little used by the few Bosnian survivors who returned to live in Višegrad.
