Hisarcık, Mahmut Bey Câmii

Hisarcık Palanka (Grocka) is located on the edge of the Danube river, between Belgrade and Smederene. Austrian authorities allowed mosques to be converted into Orthodox churches in places such as Semendire, Grocka and Smederevska Palanka, where there were no Catholic population in the early days of their rule in Serbia. In Grocka, the Mahmut Bey Mosque, registered in the Ev 744. Notebook, No. 157, 3rd line, was also converted into an Orthodox church by the Serbs with the permission of the Austrians in this period. This building, which has not survived, must have been destroyed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, like other Turkish works in Serbia.
