Bajrakli Mosque, Belgrade
- Bajrakli Mosque, Belgrade
The Bajrakli Mosque (also spelled "Bayrakli") is a mosque in Belgrade, located in Gospodar Jevremova street in the neighbourhood of Dorćol. It was built around 1575, and is the only mosque in the Serbian capital out of the 273 that had existed during the time of the Ottoman Empire's rule of Serbia. ("Bayrak" is Turkish for "flag" and "Bayrakli" means "with flag")
During the occupation of Serbia by the Austrians (between 1717 and 1739), it was converted into a Roman Catholic church; but after the Ottomans retook Belgrade, it was returned to its original function.
It was damaged after being set on fire March 18, 2004, during that year's unrest in Kosovo in response to the burning of Serbian churches in Kosovo, but it was repaired later.
