Islam is the most widespread religion in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was introduced to the local population in the 15th and 16th centuries as a result of the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Most of Bosnian Muslims are Slavs who embraced Islam in great numbers under Ottoman rule. The Ottoman rule also saw many architectural investments in Bosnia and the creation and development of many new cities including Sarajevo and Mostar. As a consequence of these investments, there are many Ottoman mosques and other religious objects that are a part of the Bosnian Ottoman heritage.
