Fatih Mosque, Durrës, Ottoman mosque in Durrës, Albania.

The Fatih Mosque stands with its reconstructed minaret and traditional Ottoman architectural elements in the central area of Durrës, combining stone and marble materials.

Built in 1502 following the Turkish conquest of Durrës, the mosque underwent several transformations, including its conversion into a youth center during the Communist period.

The mosque represents a direct connection to Albania's Ottoman heritage and maintains its role as an active religious center for the Muslim community.

Visitors can find the mosque at coordinates 41.311102 latitude and 19.44597 longitude, with prayer times adjusted according to seasonal changes.

The mosque earned Cultural Monument status in 1973 despite the nationwide suppression of religious institutions during Albania's communist regime under Enver Hoxha.
