Lead Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Mangalem Quarter, Berat, Albania.
The Lead Mosque features a spherical dome covered with lead coating and includes a northern portico with a tall, slim minaret in cloisonné style.
Built between 1553 and 1554 by Ahmet Bej Uzgurliu, the mosque survived through Albania's communist period after being declared a Cultural Monument in 1948.
The mosque demonstrates classical Ottoman architectural principles with its square prayer hall, numerous windows, and construction using uniformly sized hewn stones.
Located at Rr Antipatrea near the town square, the Lead Mosque maintains regular prayer services and welcomes visitors throughout the day.
The mosque complex originally contained carved stones, a bazaar, madrasa, imaret, school, Turkish bath, and shadirvan, as documented by explorer Evliya Çelebi.
