Hajji Omer Mosque

Located in the Dolac district below the Kastel Fortress, this 17th-century Ottoman-era mosque provides a quiet atmosphere reflecting the city's historical layers. Visitors go here to observe Ottoman architecture and explore the surrounding area, which contains finely carved old gravestones.

Getting There

The mosque is situated a short distance from the city centre. Depending on your starting point, it is a 10 to 15-minute walk or a very brief taxi ride from the main pedestrian zones.
