Teqe of Frashër, Bektashi tekke in Përmet, Albania.

The Teqe of Frashër includes traditional architectural elements with a main prayer hall and surrounding gardens situated at the base of mountains.

Founded in 1825 by Nasibi Tahir Babai upon returning from Middle Eastern travels, the tekke became a central point for Albanian nationalist movements.

The tekke functions as an educational center for Bektashi beliefs, promoting philosophical studies and maintaining connections with other regional spiritual centers.

Visitors can reach the tekke through marked paths from Përmet, with regular opening hours and guided tours available through local cultural organizations.

The site distributed Albanian language books during Ottoman times, with leaders protecting freedom fighters by disguising them as dervish students.
