Hajji Bendo Mosque

The Hajji Bendo Mosque stands within Borsh Castle on Sopot hill, featuring a concrete-covered dome and partially destroyed stone minaret structure.

The mosque, constructed before the 17th century, experienced substantial damage during the communist period when it was transformed into a residential building.

The interior of the mosque contains Muslim frescoes and nakkaşlık works, representing the Ottoman architectural influence in Albanian religious structures.

Located at coordinates 40.06982 latitude and 19.856712 longitude, the mosque remains in its modified residential form and accepts visitors throughout the day.

This religious structure is named after Haxhi Bendo, who served as a vassal to Ali Pasha of Janina during the Ottoman period.
