Results of archaeological excavations of the Kalin hajji-Alija religious and educational complex in Sarajevo

Summary/Abstract: The archaeological investigation of the Kalin Hajji Alija complex in central Sarajevo is yet another contribution to increasing our knowledge of the architectural and urban tradition of the Ottoman period. The complex was built about the middle of the 16th century, and restored in the early 18th. Alongside the mosque, with a stone minaret, were a large burial ground, a fountain and a mekteb. The complex was razed almost to the foundations in 1947, the burial ground was exhumed, and the area was reduced and devastated by the construction of new buildings and the installation of the necessary infrastructure. This paper provides all relevant data obtained from the excavations, together with the assembled documentation. The focus of the paper is on the archaeological data combined with documentation on the appearance of the building. The historical details that have been published in several places are given purely for the purpose of describing the structures that were uncovered.
