Sherif Khalil Pasha Mosque (Tombul Mosque)

The Sherif Khalil Pasha Mosque (Tombul Mosque) is the third largest Muslim house of prayer on the Balkan Peninsula. It was built in 1744 by order of Sherif Khalil Pasha. The Mosque is known by the name "Tombul" because of the dome's tumbled shape. The architecture of the temple is influenced by the oriental architectural style "Tulip", which emerged in the early 18th century and is also characterized by elements of the French Baroque.
