The Bajrakli Mosque (Albanian: Bajrakli Xhamia; Bosnian: Bajrakli džamija; Serbian: Бајракли џамија), also known as the Bazaar Mosque (Albanian: Çarshi Xhamia; Bosnian: Pazar džamija), is the main mosque situated in the center of the Bazaar of Peja. It was built in 1471 by Sultan Mehmed II and is an Ottoman-style single-domed mosque with the oldest and highest dome in the city.
