Hasan Bey Mosque
The Hasan Bey Mosque is an 18th-century Ottoman-era structure located in the center of Niš. Due to repeated damage from fire and war, the building is no longer intact; only the minaret and portions of the original walls remain. Visitors go here to see remnants of old Islamic architecture and to observe the physical traces of the city's historical conflicts.
