Fier Mosque

The Fier Mosque is an Islamic prayer house in central Fier with a white minaret that stands out from surrounding buildings. The interior is functionally designed with separate areas for men and women to accommodate prayer practices.

The building was erected in 2005 and marks the return of religious architecture to Albania after decades of repression under communism. Its construction represented a turning point in the reconstruction of the nation's religious life.

The mosque serves the local Muslim community as a gathering place for daily prayers and religious occasions that bring people together. It has become an important meeting point, especially during religious holidays when the community participates in shared observances.

Access is through the main entrance on the eastern side of the building. Visitors should dress respectfully and be mindful of prayer times if planning to visit the premises.

The building blends Islamic design elements with local Albanian architectural traditions, creating a unique interpretation of religious construction. This mix makes it an interesting example of how faith and local identity come together.
