History
editČemaluša mosque was designed and built in 1515 by Havadža Kemaludin who was a student at that time.[1] The mosque had a stone minaret located on the left, a roof on four waters, covered with shingles. The arched windows were framed with plaster and stained glass. The wide ceiling above the mihrab with stalactites was filled with tiny pieces of multicolored carved wood. Ablution was performed on two fountains - male and female water.
Next to the mosque was a large cemetery, surrounded by a wall, which dates back to the time of the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia. Members of the Hadžimusić, Novo and Dženetić families were buried in the harem of Čemaluša. War veteran Mustaj-beg Dženetić, who died in 1874, bequeathed a hundred ducats to the waqf in his will with an explicit order to bury him between the two oldest martyrs' tombstones.[1]
Following the arrival of Austro-Hungarians, the Čemaluša street began to abruptly rise with traditional Bosnian houses being replaced with buildings which spanned through Ferhadija.[2]
Čemaluša mosque was demolished in 1940 by the government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia who ordered the demolition in June 1939. Reuf Kadić later designed and built the modern day JAT building in 1947.[3]
