The Ferhat Pasha Mosque, also known as Ferhadija, is a significant historical and architectural landmark located in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Originally constructed in 1579 by the Ottoman governor Ferhat Pasha Sokolović, the mosque is a prime example of classical Ottoman architecture. It featured intricate decorations, a beautiful minaret, and an elegant courtyard. Sadly, the mosque was destroyed during the Bosnian War in 1993, but it has since been meticulously reconstructed and reopened in 2016.
