Gabela is located 10 km inland from the Adriatic coast near the city of Metkovic on the banks of the Neretva. Evliya Çelebi reports that Fatih himself conquered the city and built a castle and briefly mentions the mosque with the sentence “Fatih has a small mosque”. Constructed in the 15th century, Fatih Mosque was converted into a Catholic church under the name of St. Stefan during the Venetian occupation between 1694-1715 and was demolished after Ekrem Hakkı Ayverdi, who visited the mosque, the foundations of which have survived
