The Bajrakli Mosque, the main Islamic cultural centre in Belgrade, is a one-room building with a dome and minaret, built around 1522. It was originally called the Čohadži Mosque, after the endowment donor, the baize merchant, Hadži Alija. After the renovation in 1741, it was called Hussein-bey’s mosque for some time, and at the end of the 18th century it was named Bajrakli-mosque, after the flag that stood out on it as a sign for the simultaneous beginning of prayer in all mosques.
