Fort Mosque, Ottoman mosque ruins at castle site in Lezhë, Albania.
The stone Fort Mosque stands near Lezhë Castle with its remaining walls displaying traditional Ottoman architectural elements and structural patterns.
Built during the Ottoman period, this mosque served the military garrison stationed at the fortress while maintaining religious functions for the local population.
The structure represents the fusion of military and religious architecture, integrating Islamic prayer spaces within the defensive complex of medieval Lezhë.
Located at coordinates 41.7839° N and 19.65° E, visitors can reach the mosque ruins through marked paths leading up from the town center.
The mosque foundations reveal a strategic placement that allowed soldiers to transition directly from prayer to defensive positions along the fortress walls.
