From Wikipedia

The Emperor's Mosque (Bosnian: Careva džamija; Serbian: Царева џамија; Turkish: Hünkâr Camii) is a mosque in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Completed in 1457 CE, it was the first mosque built after the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia. Built in the classical Ottoman style, it is the largest single-subdome mosque in the country.

It was built by Isaković-Hranušić who dedicated it to the Sultan, Mehmed the Conqueror, the conqueror of Constantinople. Considered one of the most beautiful mosques of the Ottoman period in the Balkans, the mosque features a roomy interior and high quality decorative details, such as the mihrab.
