Gjirokastër Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Gjirokastër, Albania

The Bazaar Mosque, also called Memi Bey Mosque, is a Sunni mosque built in 1757 in Gjirokastër's Old Bazaar. It is one of fifteen mosques originally built in the city during the Ottoman era. Nearby stands a two-story octagonal building constructed in 1727, originally a Bektashi cemevi and now used as a madrasah.

Built in 1757 in the Old Bazaar, the mosque was part of Memi Pasha's 17th-century urban plan for the New Bazaar, which burned in the following century; only the mosque survived. Designated a Cultural Monument in 1973, it escaped the communist demolition that removed twelve other mosques. Under Albania's religion ban it served as a training hall for circus acrobats, who hung trapezes from its high domed ceilings.

Locals call it Xhamia e Pazarit, the Bazaar Mosque, after the Old Bazaar quarter where it stands, and also Xhamia e Memi Beut after Memi Pasha, whose 17th-century urban plan placed it here. It is a Sunni mosque, and the two-storey octagonal building of 1727 beside it, once a Bektashi cemevi, now serves as a madrasah.

The mosque stands in the Old Bazaar quarter, a short walk from the bazaar's main lane; the surrounding streets are steep and paved with stone. The nearby two-storey octagonal building of 1727, once a Bektashi cemevi and now a madrasah, is a separate structure worth noting. Visitors should dress modestly and avoid entering during prayer.

The two-storey octagonal building next to the mosque, built in 1727, began as a Bektashi cemevi, was closed under communism and now serves as a madrasah. The mosque itself, spared in 1973 as a Cultural Monument, housed circus acrobats who hung trapezes from its high domed ceilings during Albania's religion ban.
