The Emperor's Mosque, located in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is one of the city's oldest and most significant Islamic structures. Built in 1457 by the order of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, it was dedicated to his name, hence its title. The mosque features classical Ottoman architecture, with a large central dome, a minaret, and an expansive courtyard. Over the centuries, it has undergone several renovations, particularly after damage during various conflicts, including the Bosnian War.
