Zall Teqe, Sufi monastery in Gjirokastër, Albania.
The stone complex features a green dome and traditional Albanian architectural elements, positioned near a seasonal riverbed in the mountains.
Founded in 1780 by Seyyid Muhammed Asim Baba from Istanbul, the monastery housed a multilingual library containing texts in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish.
The monastery functions as a center for Bektashi order followers, maintaining Albanian Islamic traditions through regular religious gatherings and ceremonies.
Visitors can access the site through guided tours from Gjirokastër city center, with local transportation available during daylight hours.
The monastery earned its name 'Tekke of Pebbles' due to its location next to a dry riverbed filled with smooth stones.
