Halveti Teqe, Berat, Sufi spiritual center in Berat, Albania.

The Halveti Teqe features a square prayer hall with wooden ceilings, decorated walls, and a portico supported by five stone columns from Apollonia.

Built in 1782 by Ahmet Kurt Pasha, the teqe incorporates architectural elements from ancient Greek structures and includes a mausoleum for its founder.

The prayer hall contains eight frescoes depicting residential houses, religious structures, and landscapes, along with a wooden mafil for religious ceremonies.

The monument remains open for visitors who want to explore its religious architecture, with walls containing acoustic enhancement holes and Baroque style decorations.

Master Dush Barka created interior decorations combining Islamic art with gold-plated accents, while the walls feature stalactite ornaments around the mihrab.
