Given the cosmopolitan
nature of Sarajevo, I wanted to show three houses of faith. Here, one of Larisa's
favorite mosques integrates extremely well with the central pedestrian shopping
district.
Nearby, the courtyard
of another mosque provides a space of calm in contrast to the crowded streets.
As you can see
from going back to the mosques I photographed in Istanbul, both these mosques
are very Ottoman in design.
This mosque and
madrasa are newer or restored; I will need to find out which.
Even the apparently
new construction is distinctly Ottoman in design.
