King Mosque, Berat, Ottoman mosque in Berat, Albania.

The King Mosque features a white minaret rising above Berat's old town, with a central prayer hall containing intricate ceiling rosettes and calligraphy.

Sultan Bayezid II commissioned the construction of this religious structure in 1492, during the period of Ottoman influence across the Balkan region.

The mosque interior displays ninety-nine names of Allah in decorative script along the walls, representing traditional Islamic artistic expression in Albania.

Visitors need to remove shoes before entering the prayer hall and women must cover their heads with scarves provided at the entrance.

The ceiling of the prayer hall contains a collection of painted rosettes featuring Quranic inscriptions that have endured for over five centuries.
