Bosnian Mosque

Abstract

~During the 1880's, Bosnian Muslims, fleeing from the Austro-Hungarian army that invaded Bosnia Herzegovina, a part of the former Yugoslavia, where the Bosnians, which were Muslim in essence, resided, immigrated to the land of Israel, and some settled on the shores of the historic Caesarea, inside the city walls of the Crusader City. A Bosnian village was established, the Crusader's Fortress was renovated as an administrative center, and both market places and mosques were erected in this small Bosnian settlement, which started to dwindle during the British Mandate and completely seized to exist in 1948, when Israel's war of independence started
