Sultan Murat II Mosque (Serbian: Џамија Султан Мурат II, romanized: Džamija Sultan Murat II) is the biggest mosque in Rožaje and the biggest mosque in Montenegro. It was built at the same time as the nearby fortress by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Murat II[1] in 1450. It was rebuilt in 2008.[2]
Reconstructions[]
Primarily, it was built in the style of old houses in Rožaje in 1450 and then reconstructed by the Islamic Council in 1967. The mosque has a turbe, built by the order of Hurshid-pasha Bagdadli in 1854 on the tomb of Muhamed Užičanin, a famous Bosniak writer and fighter for justice, who was murdered by janissaries in 1750 in the village of Balotići in Rožaje as evidenced by the inscription in verses dedicated to him.[3]
Present form[]
In 2005, the ambassador of Turkey in Serbia and Montenegro donated 65.000€ to the President of the municipality of Rožaje for the reconstruction of the Sultan Murat II Mosque.[4]
