The opening as it read in 2025

Aladža Mosque ( Bosnian : Aladža džamija , Turkish : Alaca Camii ), also known as Šarena džamija , " Colorful Mosque ", is an Ottoman era mosque that was built in 1549 and located in Foča , Bosnia and Herzegovina . It is considered one of the most beautiful and important examples of Ottoman architecture in Europe , and is one of the most important Ottoman era mosques in all of Bosnia and Herzegovina ; along with the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque in Sarajevo and the Ferhadija Mosque in Banja Luka . It was completely destroyed with pre-planted explosives at the beginning of the Bosnian War in 1992 by the VRS , and levelled to the ground; along with the left over stones and rubble from the mosque being hidden all over Foča to prevent its reconstruction. After many years of searching for the stones once the Bosniak refugees of Foča began to return, and sourcing the funds necessary for the reconstruction of the mosque, its reconstruction was started in 2016, and completed in 2018.
