Overview

The mosque is a part of the Islamic Cultural Center which was built on a plot and which itself covers, or of closed space.
The mosque's dome is shaped in five separate parts that visually constitute a single object. The project was originally designed by a sculptor rather than an architect; Dušan Džamonja initially sculpted a miniature model of the mosque, before collaborating with architects Branko Vučinović and Darko Vlahović to bring his model to life.
The entire project cost HRK 76 million, with significant contribution by the state of Qatar. In 2013, Croatian media described the building as one of the most beautiful mosques in Europe.
