Efem Bey Mosque

Ephem Bay, Mosque of Tirana, mosque, Xhamia e Et'hem Beut
Albania, Tirana
The Ephem Bey Mosque is located in Tirana, on Skanderberg Square. Efem Bey is one of the most important mosques in Albania. The construction of this religious object began in 1789 and lasted 27 years. During the reign of the dictator Enver Hoxha, the mosque was closed. However, in 1991, despite the protests from the communist authorities, the mosque again opened its doors to visitors. The Efem Bey Mosque is a symbol of religious freedom in Albania.
Nowadays, it is a favorite place for pilgrims.
The facade of the mosque is decorated with frescoes depicting divine motifs, waterfalls, bridges and trees.

The Etem Bey Mosque is located in the center of Tirana on the square. Skanderbnga, next to the Clock Tower. Admission is free, there are shelves for shoes, because you have to take off your shoes. As in many other Muslim shrines, tourists are limited only during the service, so I was able to calmly get inside and enjoy the poor, but very elegant and beautiful painting. Among the architectural discord in the center of Tirana, the mosque still looks out of the ordinary, it is very different from neighboring buildings.
