Peja, Kosovo's second largest City

Restoration Bajrakli mosque

Restoration work at the 15th Century Fatih Sultan Mehmet Hani's mosque (Çarshi or Bajrakli mosque) in Peja, built in 1471 by Sultan Fatih Mehmet Hani, an Ottoman-style single-domed mosque with the oldest and highest dome in the city. The mosque was burned once during 1943 by Italian forces when the Bazaar of Peja completely burned down, while during the 1999 Kosovo War the internal part of the mosque was burned by Serbian militants; writings and wall decorations were destroyed. After the war the renovation of the mosque was first carried out by experts from the Italian Academy of Fine Arts and here it is being restored by a Turkish company.
