About

Is the only one of the eight 18th - 19th century mosques in Tirana that still stands today. Its foundations were laid in 1794 by Molla Bey, who died after completing the dome. His son, Haxhi Et'hem Bey, finished the mosque in 1821. It includes a prayer hall, a portico to the north and east, and a minaret. Each of the mosque’s four facades is unique.
