Teqeja Dervish Hatixhe

Teqeja Dervish Hatixhe
Dedicated to the female Bektashi Islamic saint Dervish Hatixhe who was the Tirana Nightingale, nursing people through a cholera epidemic. On her death in 1798 a tekke was founded near her turbe (grave). It miraculously survived the communist era and is still visited by people of varying religions, especially women. A corridor leads past a soot-blackened candle room to where the graves of Hatixhe and her family members can be seen.
