Neziraga Mosque in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, built in 1550, was demolished in 1950. The mosque was reconstructed within the framework of IRCICA’s “Mostar 2004” ten-year program of architectural studies and workshops (1994-2004) thanks to a generous donation by H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohamed al-Qassimi, Member of the Supreme Council of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Sharjah. The mosque complex including its school, ablution place, courtyard and graveyard were rebuilt during August 1988-August 1999 and reopened with a ceremony held on 10 September 1999. This book introduces the reconstruction project under the following chapters: the importance of the reconstruction, the donor H.H. Sheikh Qassimi, Mostar at the time of the mosque construction, the historic reconstruction process, archeological excavations, design, comparisons of the site before and after the reconstruction, opening ceremony, project data, summary in Bosnian, bibliography.
