HARM OF THE HAJJI ALIJA KALINA MOSQUE

(CONTINUATION OF THE PROTECTION RESEARCH)

Summary/Abstract: After a trail excavation at the archaeological site Harem Kalin hadži Alijine džamije, exact location of mekteb has been established, which was not known in spite of all current plans. It’s position is located in the north part of a park’s area. Some parts which are missing are destroyed by installing of telecommunication installations and by expanding a street with sidewalk (the assumption is that the continuation of mekteb’s walls could be found under sidewalk). However, dimensions and ground plan of the mosque could be reconstructed in spite of missing parts. Beside the mekteb, we have to stress, that the location of toilettes also was found, on the place where the drinking fountain use to be, below which was planted a rose (the roots were found), also the former place of furnace and place of gusulhane (or smaller hamamdžik). Hie site of mosque Hadži Alije Kalina is significant segment in reconstruction of lift in today’s Sarajevo. Also it has very important meaning in finding out and knowing life before and during the Austro-Hungarian period in this area, because it tell us about continuity of the site from the 16. to the 20. century. Becoming aware of problem of insufficient value of cultural heritage which is present on numerous monuments, as well as on this site, this place on which was formed cultural and religious values during almost six centuries stands as typical „hole" in the woof of the city.
