Fethija Mosque, located in the heart of Bihać, is a unique religious site originally built as a Gothic Catholic church in the 13th century. After the Ottoman conquest in the 16th century, it was converted into a mosque and given its current name. The structure blends Gothic pointed arches and ribbed vaults with Islamic calligraphy and a minaret added later. Visitors can admire the architectural fusion and the peaceful courtyard. It remains an active place of worship and a key landmark in the city.
