KING'S MOSQUE
Mosque to visit
4/5
• 3 reviews
Read moreThis mosque (Xhamia e Mbretit) was built in 1492 in honor of the "king" (sultan) Bajazed II (reign 1481-1512). It is the oldest mosque in Berat and one of the oldest in Albania. Spared during the atheist campaign of 1967 and reopened for worship in 1991, it is frequently used. The entrance porch is an 18th century addition and the top of the minaret was recently redone. Inside, there is a richly decorated mirhab, a mezzanine for women, and woodwork decorated with colorful geometric patterns and calligraphy of Allah's name.
