Gjakova, in western Kosovo

Inside Hadum Mosque

The main prayer hall of the Hadum Mosque (Xhamia e Hadumit), built by Hadum Sylejman Efendia (Sylejman Hadum Aga) in 1594-95; the Hadum mosque stands in the heart of the old bazaar of Gjakova. It has the classic form of the Islamic-Kosovar style and features paintings and arabesques. The interior of the domes has murals; the main motifs are stylised landscapes (in some cases with motifs of folk architecture, of kullas of Dukagin plain) with cypress trees, still nature, stars, motifs of architectural religious buildings – mosques, floral ornaments, geometrical figures and quotations from the Qur'an.
