Ebu Beker Mosque

Ebu Beker Mosque, Sunni mosque in Shkodër, Albania

Ebu Beker Mosque is a Sunni mosque at the end of a pedestrian walkway facing Hotel Colosseo in Shkodër. Built 1994–1995 on a 623 m² site, it holds 1,300 worshippers. Its two minarets rise 41.11 m each, and the central dome reaches 24 m.

The old Fushë Çela Mosque, built under Ottoman rule, was demolished during the communist dictatorship. The new Ebu Beker Mosque, funded by Saudi businessman Sheikh Zamil Abdullah Al-Zamil and designed by ARC Architectural Consultants, was built on its site in 1994–1995 and inaugurated on 27 October 1995. It was renovated in 2008.

The mosque is an active gathering point for Shkodër's Muslim community, used for daily prayer and religious celebrations throughout the year. Visitors can observe the steady rhythm of people coming and going around prayer times.

The main entrance is on Rruga Fushë Cele, near Hotel Colosseo, and is easy to reach on foot from the center of Shkodër. Visitors should dress modestly and be aware that entry may be limited during prayer times.

The mosque was built with financial support from Saudi Arabia, which was unusual for a country that had only recently restored religious freedom. This international contribution made it one of the first large religious construction projects in Albania after communism ended.
