Our city mosque - very old and one of the biggest in Bosnia and Herzegovina before war in the 90s. Its size is depicted by an oral story saying that every Friday before cuma prayer, around 2.000 people would visit the mosque and do their prayer. If you didn't come at least one hour earlier, you couldn't enter the mosque garden, let alone the mosque. Just imagine 2000. individuals strolling up the small cobbled street towards mosque in this, once even smaller city! Islam was and is even today, the main religion in Cazin and 96% of the people declare themselves as muslims. This mosque is definitely a place of value and a piece of history, building a city that we know today. If you decide to visit, please make sure to dress modestly (women should cover their hair) and not disturb during prayer times.
