The Gornja Slatina Mosque is a cultural heritage monument in Gornja Slatina, Vitina, Kosovo.[1]

Description

[edit]

Although dedicated in 1924, the plaque on the front door attributes the mosque to a construction date between 1905 and 1907. A local nobleman named Emin Aga spearheaded construction, hiring 12 craftsmen from the Sanjak of Dibra, including mason Halit Ymeri. The building is stone with lime mortar.[2][3]
