1 review of Kuršumlija Medresa

An Islamic school

Excellent

In addition to the great mosque, the great artist Gazi Husrev Bey also built the Islamic School (Kurumlija Medresa), which can be freely accessed through the main gate in the courtyard of the sacred building. It was built around the year 1538, and is very unique. It has more than 24 domes and 12 chimneys. Above the door there's an inscription in Arabic, reading "Gazi Husrev Bey constructed this building for those in search of knowledge and God's love ... this is the meeting place of humility, home of the perfect man." The interior looks like a large courtyard, with rooms around it, occupied by the school's students.

This was the first educational establishment in Bosnia, with library of texts about Islamic philosophy, law and theology. Nowadays it houses some temporary exhibitions, too. Well worth visiting.
