Bajrakli Mosque, Belgrade

The Bajrakli Mosque (also spelled Bayrakli, the Turkish for "with flag") is a mosque on Gospodar Jevremova Street in the neighborhood of Dorćol. It was built around 1575, and is the only remaining mosque in Belgrade out of the 273 existed under the Ottoman rule of Serbia. During the Austrian occupation, between 1717 and 1739, it was converted into a Roman Catholic Church; but then, after the Ottomans had retaken Belgrade, it was returned to its original function. The mosque sustained severe damage after being set on fire on 18 March, 2004, in response to burning of Serbian churches in Kosovo during the unrest period. Recently, the mosque has been restored.
