Džamija u Lukomiru

tourist attraction in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Region: Central Bosnia — Herzegovina

The mosque in Lukomir is a modest and charming religious building located in the heart of the highest and most isolated village in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the slopes of Bjelašnica, at about 1,470 meters above sea level. The locals built it in 1969, and it was renovated in 2014, when a new minaret was also erected beside it. Although small and simple, this mosque has a special charm precisely because of its mountain setting and isolation – its minaret gently rises above the stone roofs of the houses in Lukomir, witnessing the spiritual life of the small community. Here, the locals gather during holidays and important events, and the call to prayer that resonates in the silence of the mountain morning above the Rakitnica canyon leaves a strong and unforgettable impression. Surrounded by stone houses covered with shingles, medieval tombstones, and magnificent mountain landscapes, the mosque in Lukomir is part of a unique ethnological whole that has been declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For visitors to this 'last true Bosnian village', it is one of the symbols of persistence, faith, and tradition that still lives high in the Bosnian mountains.
