The Fatih Mosque dominates the main square in old town Durres, as it's elevated against the central plateau. The Mosque dates back to the 1500's named after the Ottoman ruler who built it.
Like all other religious sites in Albania it was banned during the communist era and even its minaret ruined.
Best views of it are from the Sema cafe/restaurant just opposite it. Come for a drink or dinner and enjoy the views.

Small, beautiful mosque in the old town. We were there yesterday and would definitely recommend a visit. However, in this review I would also like to mention the extremely pleasant experience of meeting an elderly gentleman - member of the Muslim community - who is apparently taking care of the mosque. He speaks fine Italian, which my husband and I, as Romanians, can understand. He was most eager not only to introduce us the mosque, but also give us more information about the city and then guide us to the Orthodox and then Roman Catholic churches in the centre, which could have been rather hard to find.

A pretty 'compact' place which gives you a pleasing feeling. I liked the the fact that it was clean and well-arranged. Maybe wouldn't pay a special visit to there, but if in Durres, I would go again.

- In Old Town, beside Main Square & City Hall & Archeological Site, you can go by walking from Durres Bus Station about 1.50 km W.S.
- It's crowded during "Friday Pray" maybe because there are relatively a little of Mosques.

It is in well condition. Beautiful construction. It was closed at the time of my visit, so I can't saw how it is inside.

The mosque is a new one, built in 1931 on the place of the older ottoman mosque. It was closed during the communist reign. It was damaged by an earthquake as well. After the reconstruction, it was opened again in 1993.
