Summary/Abstract: The article presents a number of a great multitude of religious buildings; mosques, mesjids, maqtabs and madrassas in Mostar mahallas, with a summary review of those that have faced a sorrowful destiny. A special section is devoted to “missing mosques of Mostar” that have, in most cases, been demolished and devastated in the communist era leaving either a deserted plot behind or making place for a parking lot, leaving mahalla without a centre of its spiritual and cultural life. In this article we researched the case of the Hajji Bali’s Mosque of Brankovac mahalla in particular, that was demolished in year 1950. Foundations and remains of this mosque are found in year 2009, as a result of an official archaeological research initiated by the Majlis of the IC of Mostar. The article also presents an initiative of the Majlis for reconstruction of this mosque and adjoining tomb of Mustafa Sidqi Karabeg, a renowned mufti of Mostar killed in a turmoil that preceded the arrival of the Austro-Hungarian troupes in 1878.
