Et'hem Bey Mosque, Ottoman mosque in central Tirana, Albania
The mosque features a square prayer hall covered by a semi-spherical dome, accompanied by a cylindrical stone minaret and surrounding portico.
Construction began in 1789 under Molla Bey's direction and concluded in 1823 when his son Haxhi Ethem Bey completed the religious building.
The interior and exterior walls display frescoes of natural landscapes, including trees, waterfalls, and bridges, departing from traditional Islamic decorative restrictions.
The mosque welcomes visitors from 09:00 to 12:00 and 13:30 to 16:00, with modified hours on Fridays from 14:00 to 16:00.
In January 1991, 10,000 people entered the mosque without permission, marking a turning point in Albania's religious freedom after the communist period.
