Novi Pazar

Novi Pazar occupies the valley where the Raška and Jošanica rivers meet in southwestern Serbia. Founded as an Ottoman town in the 15th century, it remains the commercial and cultural centre of Serbia’s Sandžak region, with a predominantly Bosniak population shaping its everyday character. The early-16th-century Altun-Alem Mosque is among Serbia’s best-preserved Ottoman monuments, while the old bazaar maintains the town’s longstanding trading tradition in the centre. Nearby, the UNESCO World Heritage monuments of Stari Ras and Sopoćani connect the area with medieval Serbian statehood and Orthodox art.
