Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque
Koski Mehmed-pašina džamija
A riverside mosque completed in 1618. Climb the minaret or stand on the courtyard terrace for the classic view of the Old Bridge.
This mosque was built between 1618 and 1619, right on the east bank of the Neretva River. Inside, it has a painted dome and a pulpit. The courtyard terrace overlooking the river faces the Old Bridge and is the postcard view. Climbing the narrow spiral staircase to the minaret balcony offers a view over the whole old town and the Old Bridge. Entry costs about 10 to 15 convertible marks, including the minaret; check on site for current prices. Visits are suspended during prayer times, and shoulders and knees must be covered. The staircase is narrow and steep, so those who suffer from vertigo should think twice.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–18:00 (except during prayer times)
