Restoration of historical mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Overview

Recent developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina highlight the restoration of historical mosques. In Ripač, the Old Island Mosque on the Una River has been renovated using traditional stone and wood elements after decades of ruin, attracting international tourists from Middle Eastern countries.

In Orahovica, near Zenica, the Old Mosque is scheduled for a formal reopening ceremony on October 17. The restoration was funded by local benefactors Džemila Isaković and Suvad Isaković. While a newer mosque was built in 2010 for daily use, this historic site remains significant for community heritage and funeral prayers.
