Husein Pasha’s Mosque
Pljevlja
Husein-pasha’s Mosque is located in the centre of Pljevlja. Mosque was erected by Husein-pasha Boljanic (who was born in the village Boljanic near Pljevlja) between 1573 and 1594. Prior to settling in Pljevlja, Hussein-paša performed a number of important duties at the court in Constantinople.The mosque was built from finely hewn stone and it is the most beautiful sacral monument of Islamic architecture in Montenegro with one of the tallest minarets in the country - 42 metres is high. The interior of the mosque and the front are luxuriously painted with ornaments, floral motifs and quotations from the Qur’an. Inside the mosque, various old manuscripts and books in Arabic and Turkish are displayed. The most significant one is the hand-written Qur’an (16th century), whose Arabic scripture is decorated with gilt miniatures.
