Parruca Mosque, Islamic prayer center in Shkodër, Albania

The Parruca Mosque features two tall minarets reaching 41 meters and a central dome standing 24 meters high in the heart of Shkodër.

The original mosque from 1937 was destroyed in 1967 during the communist regime, leading to its reconstruction and reopening in 2006.

The mosque accommodates 1300 worshippers and serves as a primary gathering place for the Muslim community of Shkodër for daily prayers and celebrations.

Visitors can find the mosque at Rruga Studenti 40 in Shkodër, where appropriate dress code and respectful behavior are required during prayer times.

The consecration ceremony of the rebuilt mosque took place exactly 40 years after the original structure's destruction, symbolizing religious revival in Albania.
