Mahmud Agha Kokonozi Mosque

  Rr. Shemsi Haka, Pazari i Ri     more than a year ago
Sometimes referred to as the New Bazaar Mosque (Xhamia e Pazarit të Ri), this fine Ottoman-era building dates from the middle of the 18th century and is one of a very few of its kind to survive the atheist campaign that started in the late 1960s. Used as a food and tobacco store during the Hoxha period, the mosque reopened in 1991 with a reconstructed minaret - one of only a handful in the region to feature two balconies.
