Naziresha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Elbasan, Albania
The Naziresha Mosque presents a traditional Islamic design with a central prayer hall, entrance portico, and a minaret positioned on the right side.
The mosque was built in 1599 by Naziresha, daughter of a Nazir official, and received its designation as a Cultural Monument of Albania in 1948.
The mosque remains an integral part of Elbasan's religious landscape, serving the local Muslim community through daily prayers and religious ceremonies.
Located along the E852 road in Elbasan, the mosque features a lead dome that replaced its original red tile roof during renovations in 2012.
The mosque bears the distinction of being commissioned by a female patron in the 16th century, reflecting the role of women in Ottoman society.
