A small mosque in the south east corner of Skanderberg Square. You must remove shoes before entering, and ladies need to wear a head scarf and once inside, it is small, and can be done in 10/15 minutes. Makes a good picture and looks nice when lit up at night.

This is a small but nice mosque located in a corner of the main square. The art work inside is beautiful. P[ease remember to show respect by taking your shoes off before entry rather than waiting to be told to do so. Also, come back at night to look at it again from the outside when it is lit up.

A very important site on the big Square. They welcomed us inside, which is sort of simple. People were stopping to take photos outside as this mosque is historic and an important part of the religious heritage of this unique country.

The mosque was stunning both inside and out. Visitors are required to dress modestly; you can bring your own scarf, or you can use one of the scarves provided on-site to cover your head. Additionally, your legs and shoulders should be covered during your visit. Entry is free, but donations are appreciated.
