Karadjoz-Beg (Karađozbey) Mosque in the town of Mostar is the largest mosque in Herzegovina. Designed by Turkish architect Koca Mimar Sinan, it was built in 1557. Similarly to other local mosques, Karadjoz-Beg has suffered great damage from wars fought in the region, including WWII and the recent Serbian invasion of Bosnia-Herzegovina during which it was almost totally destroyed. After a long restoration, the mosque once again serves the community. Situated slightly away from the downtown area, Karadjoz-Beg is one of the greatest monuments of the 16th century Islamic religious architecture, grand with interior decorations: arabesques and phytomorphic drawings. In line with the period tradition, it is flanked by several buildings in the courtyard: a fountain for washing (sadrvan), an Islamic school (madrasa), a library and a public canteen for the poor. Behind the mosque is a Muslim cemetery, oldest in Mostar.

Given the Orthodox Serbian surroundings, an old Catholic church may appear unusual, however this modest Catholic Church has persevered through old age and destruction from the war.

The church is a sacred place for Orthodox Christians from the Balkans, as well as a relic of Byzantine architecture. The church was battered during the war, but then reconstructed with a project financed by a British philanthropist.

Starai Most is a 16th century bridge that crosses the Neretva river and connects two parts of the city. The Old Bridge supported passangers for more than four centuries until the bridge was destroyed during the Bosnian War in 1993. However, the bridge was rebuilt and opened in 2004 thanks to a European Union grant. The location is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On either side of the Old Bridge, you'll discover two towers that date back to the age of the Old Bridge. The towers were used to house bridge guardians, armories, and store gunpowder. Today, one of the towers is a mosque and offers an exhibition of Mostar's history and the destruction of the Old Bridge.

The Crooked Bridge is even older than Old Bridge, and dates back to the middle 16th century. The bridge crosses a tributary to the Neretva River. Floords destroyed the bridge in the 1990s, but was also reconstructed by UNESCO in 2001.

The construction of this mosque lasted from the 16th to the 17th century, according to the desire of Hajji Kurt, member of the prominent local aristocratic clan. The mosque stands on the right bank of the Neretva River, some 100 meters from the Old Bridge, adjoining the ancient Tabhana district which was once inhabited by leather tanners and contained many of their workshops. Hence the name of the area, deriving from Tabaci which means "leather tanner". Being surrounded by numerous shops, the Tabačica mosque one of the most often visited in Mostar.

Operation Hours: every day (except Mondays) from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Paul was built in the Ottoman era (19th century), but completely destroyed during the 1990s. The church was rebuilt with a much higher tower and a Franciscan monastery right in front.

The Franciscan Chruch is an old minaret from the medieval time period. The church belonged to the Franciscan Order and was a place of both religious and historical value. Today, it is also a highly visited tour attraction.
