Tekija, Bosnia


A Bosnian Tekija (spiritual retreat almost like an islamic monastery), in the small town of Blagaj. In Arabic the word "howa" (he) is written, referring to God and His "oneness". Dervishes of the Belvetic Order used to live in this 17th century house where hey studied religion and spirituality.
