Alaturka sundial of the Hadži Ali-bey mosque in Travnik The only old sundial for an exclusively Alaturian clock system outside the borders of today's Turkey is located in Travnik (BiH), which for a century and a half (1699-1851) was the capital of The Eyalet of Bosnia and the residence of Bosnian viziers. It is located on the southwest wall of the Hadži Ali-bey mosque (44 ° 13 '34 "N, 17 ° 39' 36" E), named after its founder who built it in 1866 on the foundations of the old mosque from 1757, which was destroyed by fire. With a strange hour scale, shaded by the surrounding trees, the sundial was long forgotten. In 2018 the slab was retouched at the National Museum in Sarajevo. The contents are engraved on a tufa slab (97 x 73 cm) mounted into the mosque’s wall. The contents are engraved on a tufa slab (97 x 73 cm) mounted into the mosque’s wall. The Hour-scale is enclosed in a right triangle which legs are a = 65 cm and b = 49.5 cm. The scale consists of hour-lines, date lines (projections of celestial tropics and the celestial equator) and lines for noon and afternoon Islamic prayer. The lines for both prayers are marked with the appropriate signs. Hour-lines are precisely incise
