Summary/Abstract: The Azizija Mosque in Brezovo Polje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was built in the 19th century and destroyed in 1993; it was an outstanding work of architecture, the value of which has not previously been comprehensively and accurately determined. This study is intended to identify those marked values, which include its significant stylistic value (“Turkish neo-Classicism”) and symbolic value, where its multivalent architectural code may be associated with Bosnia’s cultural landscape. The study is based on research associated with the project for the restoration of the Azizija Mosque in Brezovo Polje and on wider-ranging studies on the topic.
