This 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.

petite mosquée en bon état que l'on peut visiter très librement dans sa partie RDC mais également dans sa partie mezzanine qui était réservée aux femmes.

Une très jolie mosquée, à ne pas manquer.
Pas forcément facile à trouver mais elle vaut le coup d'oeil.

NOT TO MISS. A beautiful place full of serenity and calm. The peace of the park is disturbed only by the sound of the birds singing.
You will appreciate the remarkable decor of the ceiling to the floor for women only, but accessible to the Christians from all sexes, Albanian Islam is in the antipodes of the Salafist integrism.
Access for tourists: 100 leks (€0.75)
