Summary/Abstract: This article presents two long forgotten waqfs in the very centre of Bihać town. Namely the waqf of Mehmedpaša Bišćević, established in first half of the 19th century, and the mosque of Hajji Mujaga with adjoining shops and waqf houses established in about 1858. Mehmed-paša Bišćević Madrassa ceased to function by the end of twentieth century, and the mosque was demolished in the first half of twentieth century. Hajji Mujaga mosque has suffered some minor damages during the Second World War, however after the war it was demolished to the ground. Today these waqfs are nonexistent. We are left with only the memories of these significant waqfs and their founders (waqifs).
