The Jalska Mosque (Bosnian: Jalska džamija) known also as the Kızler Mosque (from Turkish kızler-girls) or Hafiz-hanuma's Mosque is a 17th-century mosque in Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] The building was mentioned for the first time in 1600 under the name of its founder Sedefkar Mehmed Agha.[1] The grave of Mehmed Teufik Azabagić, Grand Muftis of Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1893 and 1909, is located next to the mosque.[2]
According to folk belief, the mosque was named the Kızler Mosque because, at one point, a young girl restored it using her bridal attire.[3] Her tomb was located in the mosque's courtyard in 1848.[3] Over time, the mosque deteriorated, and in 1890, according to Tuzla residents, Hafiz-hanuma Tuzlić rebuilt it from the ground up, leading to its renaming as Hafiz-hanuma's Mosque.[3]
The Jalska Mosque was originally built from adobe bricks, with a red dome covered with wooden planks until its renovation in 1891.[4] Beneath the roof, there was a brick dome that collapsed on its own in 1928, after which a reed ceiling was installed, making the original dome no longer visible.[4] The building was declared a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina in February 2019.[4]
