NOTES: The design of this mosque has been attributed to the great Ottoman architect Sinan because of a mention in his autobiography of a mosque designed in Hercegovina. However, it is not clear that the patron listed is the same as that of this mosque in Mostar. It is possible that the mosque was built by the architect of the bridge in Mostar, Hayruddin, either to his own design or perhaps on the basis of a plan by Sinan.
