Constructed in traditional style with a wooden minaret and open porch (sofa), the mosque featured a wooden staircase leading to the mahfil. During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was burned down on September 9, 1993, and all remaining parts were removed the following year. On the same day, Stupnička Mosque was also destroyed. Hadži Omerova Mosque was declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina and was rebuilt and reopened on July 14, 2007, restoring a vital piece of the city’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
