| Aladza Mosque, Bosnia and Herzegovinia. Built 1550/1, destroyed 1992/5. This beautiful Mosque was completely destroyed by Christian Bosnian Serbs attempting to eradicate all traces of a Muslim Culture in their country. The remains of the building, scattered over a mass grave, are presently being recovered and used to restore the Mosque to something of its former glory. |
