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

The Fethiye Mosque features a large central dome with remnants of a minaret near the entrance of the Skanderbeg Museum within Krujë Castle.

Sultan Mehmed II commissioned the mosque before 1481, but it experienced destruction in 1831 and underwent reconstruction during Sultan Mahmud II's reign.

The mosque displays Ottoman architectural elements and Islamic calligraphy, reflecting the fusion of Byzantine and Ottoman construction techniques in Albania.

Visitors should wear appropriate clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the mosque grounds, following local Muslim customs.

The structure stored ammunition during World War II, leading to structural damage that, combined with natural disasters, left only its lower walls standing.
