Small mausoleum of Albanian-Ottoman governor Kapllan Pacha Toptani (c. 1760-1819) wedged under the vault of a modern building.
This small Ottoman mausoleum (Tyrbja e Kapllan Pashës) is wedged under the vault of a building annexed to the Plaza Hotel (TID Tower), an 85 m high tower erected in 2016 on the site of the Sulejman-Pasha mosque (1614) destroyed in 1967. Octagonal in shape and with 8 columns, the 4 m high white turbe was erected in 1820 for Kapllan Pasha Toptani (c. 1760-1819), governor of Tirana who was poisoned by his daughter whose fiancé he had wanted to murder. The tomb is empty because the sarcophagus of Kapllan was later transferred to Constantinople.

It is a shame that the authorities accepted that this Turbé is found in the corner of a building in construction (the largest Tirana) It is currently almost invisible, behind the walls of the construction but should be restored at the end of this. Patience...
