Stupnica Mosque

The Stupnica Mosque is a late 16th-century religious site located in the village of Stupnica along the Vrbas River. Visitors come here to see a piece of Ottoman architecture that was carefully restored following its destruction during the Bosnian War. It serves as an active place of worship and a landmark for the local riverside community.
