The modern equivalent of his position would be Prime Minister in the service of Sultan Suleiman The Magnificent, Selim II and Murat III. Originally a Bosnian Serb, Sokolovic led wise politics which made the lives of Christian citizens in the Empire easier. He contributed to the renovation of the Serbian Patriarchate of Pec, and with his commitment he supported the construction of many foundations (on the modern territories of Bosnia and Herzegovina). On his request, architect Sinan built a bridge over the river Drina in Visegrad. He died tragically, as a victim of a public conspiracy aged 74.<br \/>\nMehmed-Pasha Sokolovic was the intitator of the construction of various infrastructure which made everyday life easier. Out of everything he left behind, the most important foundations are the bridge on Drina, Visegrad, and the fountain in Kalemegdan. His fountain presents the oldest preserved fountain in Belgrade.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7763\" style=\"width: 2560px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_4733-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7763 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_4733-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1654\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Mehmed-Pasha Sokolovic fountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-6223-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6223-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-first-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><figure style=\"width: 1707px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"image \" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_4734-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u010cesma Mehmed-pa\u0161e Sokolovi\u0107a<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><div id=\"panel-6223-1-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1240\" height=\"1214\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4733.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-23770  attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4733.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4733-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4733-1024x1003.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4733-768x752.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_4733-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-6223-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-6223-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6223-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">EXTERIOR<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>The object's dimensions were 7.5 x 6.3m, and the height was 4.5m .
