Central Post Office
The Central Post Office should be visited for its splendid imperial interior and its big hanging brass clock. Almost opposite across the river is the stunningly graceful Academy of Fine Arts, which is now an art school.

Gazi-Husrevbey Mosque
The nearby Gazi-Husrevbey Mosque was built by masons from Dubrovnik in 1531. There are some superb internal decorations employing line, pattern and calligraphy in pastel colours to delineate every separate architectural feature.

Orthodox Church
In the same road as the Jewish Museum and Catholic Church is the old Orthodox Church, which is medieval (last rebuilt in 1740) and predates the yellow-and-brown Orthodox cathedral in Zelenih Beretki. Inside the church don't miss the museum, which showcases Russian, Greek and local icons, as well as tapestries and old manuscripts.

Sebilj
This fountain, looking more like an enclosed Oriental gazebo, is not the original and only dates from 1891. From the square a series of parallel lanes, cross alleys and open courtyards strike off in all directions to a boundary of the National Library in the east and Gazi-Husrevbey Mosque in the west.
