The Bajrakli Mosque (Albanian: Bajrakli Xhamia; Bosnian: Bajrakli džamija; Serbian: Бајракли џамија), also known as the Bazaar Mosque (Albanian: Çarshi Xhamia; Bosnian: Pazar džamija), is the main mosque situated in the center of the Bazaar of Peja. It was built in 1471 by Sultan Mehmed II and is an Ottoman-style single-domed mosque with the oldest and highest dome in the city. The mosque was burned twice once during World War II in 1943 by Italian forces when the Bazaar of Peja was completely burned down, and the second time by the Serbian military during the 1999 Kosovo War.^[1]
