In the heart of Tirana, Et’hem Bey Mosque (Xhamia e Et’hem Beut) stands as one of the city’s few surviving historical monuments. Nestled in Skanderbeg Square, this small Ottoman-era stone mosque contrasts with the surrounding modern concrete structures. Inside, visitors can admire delicate frescos that adorn the walls, a testament to the mosque’s rich history and cultural significance. Today, it serves as both a gathering point for Muslim worshippers and a site open to tourists at certain times, offering a glimpse into Albania’s Islamic heritage.
