The original building was replaced in the 1560s during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, and that is essentially the mosque that stands today: a single domed prayer hall with a tall stone minaret, an arcaded porch and a walled courtyard with an old cemetery.
Its plain, harmonious lines are a good example of classical Ottoman architecture in the Balkans, and the complex remains closely tied to the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose offices stand next to it.
The mosque is across the river from Baščaršija, reached over the small Emperor's Bridge (Careva ćuprija), and fits easily into a walk along the Miljacka towards the City Hall and the Latin Bridge.
