Mount Tomorr, Sacred mountain in Berat District, Albania

Mount Tomorr is a mountain chain between the Berat and Skrapar regions, reaching 2,416 metres at Çuka e Partizanit, the highest peak in central Albania. The southern peak holds a small round twelve-sided shrine enclosed by a stone wall, with a two-room stone dervishia built about 100 metres below it in 1908–1909.

During the Byzantine period, the mountain was known as Tmoros and served as a strategic location where local leaders joined forces with Skanderbeg against Ottoman forces in 1457. This alliance was part of broader resistance to Ottoman expansion in the region.

The Bektashi shrine on the southern peak, a small twelve-sided building inside a stone wall, is linked to Abbas ibn Ali. Bektashis hold their pilgrimage on 15 August, the date Christians associate with the Virgin Mary, and the mountain is also sacred to Baba Tomor and Zojz in Albanian folk belief.

Reaching the summit requires four-wheel-drive vehicles due to steep slopes and poor path conditions in the upper sections. Visitors should prepare for rough terrain and bring appropriate gear.

The southern peak holds a small twelve-sided shrine ringed by a stone wall, said to have been built or rebuilt in the early 1880s when the Bektashi Order took on an Albanian nationalist character. Bektashis call it the second tomb of Abbas ibn Ali; unverified sources date a tomb here to 1620. A two-room stone dervishia stood about 100 metres below it, burned in spring 1914 according to Joseph Swire, who visited in 1930.
