Great Mosque in Durrës, Ottoman mosque in central Durrës, Albania.
The Great Mosque stands with its high central dome and semidomes, featuring a tall minaret that extends toward the Adriatic sky.
Built in 1502 after the Turkish conquest, the mosque underwent modifications during the communist era when its original minaret was removed and later rebuilt.
The mosque combines architectural elements from Seljuk Turkish designs, Byzantine influences, and local traditions, representing the evolution of Ottoman aesthetics.
The prayer hall accommodates numerous worshippers, while the mosque remains accessible to visitors interested in religious architecture throughout the day.
The structure incorporates features typical of local Durrës style columns, demonstrating the fusion between Ottoman and Albanian architectural elements.
