Manastır Şehri’nde Günümüzde Ayakta Olmayan İki Camii
Two Mosques not Standing Today in The City Bitola

Summary/Abstract: 12 mosques from the Otoman Era survived today in the city Bitola, located in the southwest of Macedonia. The subjects of this study, the Sungur Bey Mosque and the Kırık Mosque, are two Otoman buildings which were demolished in the recent past for the sake of urbanization projects. The Sungur Bey Mosque was the oldest architectural build-ing from the Otoman Era in the Balkans. Its foundations, which has been preserved until today, show that it was important once for the city’s architectural development. The same destiny was shared by the Kırık Mosque, although it was in the status of cultural heritage. It was demolished and modern-looking buildings were erected instead.
