Fethiye Mosque, 15th-century Ottoman mosque in Krujë, Albania

Fethiye Mosque is a 15th-century mosque located within Krujë Castle. The structure features a large central dome, and remnants of a minaret are visible near the entrance to the Skanderbeg Museum.

The building was constructed before 1481 under orders from Sultan Mehmed II. It suffered severe damage in 1831 and was later rebuilt during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II.

The mosque displays Islamic calligraphy and shows how Byzantine and Ottoman building styles met in Albania. Visitors can see today how this blend shaped the architecture of the place.

Visitors should wear appropriate clothing that covers shoulders and knees to respect local Muslim customs. Understanding these requirements before visiting makes entry smoother.

The building served as an ammunition storage during World War II and suffered considerable damage from this use. This military history left marks that shape its appearance today.
