Sefer-beg Mosque
The Sefer-beg Mosque is an Ottoman-era religious site located in the Pećine district of Banja Luka. Originally constructed in the early 17th century, the structure was destroyed during wartime and subsequently rebuilt. Visitors go here to observe Ottoman architectural influence and to see the adjacent old graveyard, which serves as a historical record of the neighborhood's long-standing faith and community.
