Go there and contact
Mosque with four minarets named after the Ottoman governor of Bosnia Hamza-bey Biharović, a native of Sanski Most.
Opened in 2000, this mosque (Hamza-Begova Džamija) is the only one in the country with four minarets. It was built on the site of a mosque dating from 1984, destroyed by the Bosnian Serb army in 1992. It is named after the Ottoman governor of Bosnia Hamza-bey Biharović, a native of Sanski Most, who had the first mosque erected here around 1555. The current building was inspired by the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. According to the donor, a dentist from the city, the minarets (51.5 m high) symbolize his two brothers killed in 1992 "and all the martyrs of Bosnia."
