Placed on the site of an earlier war-damaged predecessor and surrounded by gardens, the huge Sheik Zamil Abdullah Al Zamil Mosque, built in 1995 with the support of the Saudi sheikh of the same name, forms the focal point of Shkodra's proud Muslim community. Still maintained by the Al Zamil family, the grand building with its decorated interior welcomes visitors after prayer times. There's also an impressive old partisan war monument in the park behind the mosque.
