Ishak Bey Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Old Bazaar, Skopje, North Macedonia
The Ishak Bey Mosque features a 30-meter minaret and incorporates colored tiles, floral patterns, and inscriptions throughout its architectural design.
Constructed in 1438, the mosque transformed from a Sufi monastery into a formal Islamic place of worship in 1519 during the Ottoman expansion.
The mosque contained one of Europe's first Islamic libraries, establishing itself as a center of religious education in the Balkan region.
The structure maintains regular prayer services, requiring visitors to remove shoes and wear appropriate clothing when entering the main prayer hall.
The building combines architectural elements from both Byzantine and Seljuk traditions, displayed in its square prayer hall and multiple domed chambers.
