Fatih Mosque, Durrës

The Fatih Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Fatihut) is a Cultural Monument of Albania, located in Durrës. It was built in 1502 and named after the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror (Sulltan Mehmet Fatihu). Closed by the Communist authorities, it became a cultural monument in 1973.[1] Its minaret was torn down but rebuilt in a more simple style after the Communist dictatorship had ended.
