It was built in the 13th or 14th century as the Church of St Anthony of Padua, when Bihać was a royal free town of the Kingdom of Hungary and Croatia. After the Ottomans took the town in 1592, the church was converted into a mosque, given the name Fethija, meaning "the conquest", and a tall minaret was added. The pointed Gothic windows and the rose window survive, making it one of the oldest buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina still in use.
It is protected as a national monument and is still an active mosque.
Visit outside prayer times, dress modestly and remove your shoes before entering.
