About Koski Mehmed-paša Mosque
Built in 1618–19, the Koski Mehmed-paša Mosque stands on the east bank of the Neretva, just downstream of the Old Bridge, and is one of the loveliest places in Mostar to take in the view. Visitors are welcome for a small fee. Climb the narrow stairs of the minaret for a wonderful outlook over Stari Most and the rooftops of the old town, or stay in the riverside courtyard, where the terrace frames the classic photograph of the bridge. Come early in the day for softer light and fewer people on the stairs.
