The Karađoz Bey Mosque in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a Sunni mosque designed by the renowned Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan and completed in 1557–1558. Distinguished by its large dome and a 34.5-metre-tall minaret, it stands as one of the largest mosques in the region. Built as part of a külliye (Ottoman architectural complex), the structure exemplifies Ottoman architectural principles of its era. The mosque was destroyed during the Bosnian War in the early 1990s but was subsequently rebuilt in 2004. Today it is designated a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
