Seaman's Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Ulcinj, Montenegro.

The Seaman's Mosque features a white exterior with a tall minaret and incorporates traditional Ottoman architectural elements in its construction and interior design.

Built in 1798 by Ibrahim Pasha of Scutari, the mosque underwent demolition in 1931 and remained absent from the cityscape until its reconstruction in 2012.

The mosque represents the maritime heritage of Ulcinj, serving as both a religious center and a former lighthouse for the seafaring community.

Located near the coast, the mosque accommodates 300 worshippers and maintains regular prayer sessions throughout the day for residents and travelers.

Lightning struck the minaret in 2013, causing partial damage to its top section, leading to subsequent repairs that maintained its original architectural design.
