Lead Mosque in Shkodër

Xhamia e Plumbit, lead mosque
Albania, Shkoder
One of the main cult sights in Shkodër is the Lead Mosque. The Muslim shrine is located on the banks of the picturesque lake Shkoder, just 2 kilometers from the city. The mosque was built in 1773 by order of Bushati Mehmet Pasha. The uniqueness of this ancient shrine lies in the fact that it has many domes, but does not have a single minaret. The mosque got its name due to the construction technology, in which liquid lead was used to fasten the elements.
The Lead Mosque is the only religious building in the city that survived the Cultural Revolution of the 60s.

One of the oldest mosques in Albania and probably the most enduring. She suffered both earthquakes and wars, and even survived during the reign of Enver Hoxha. Of the mosques I have seen in Albania, this one is the best preserved. They say it is built using a unique technology. Lead is named because of the construction technology in which lead was used. The mosque is located next to the Rozafa fortress. So I advise you to definitely not deprive this small mosque of attention while walking along the Rozafa fortress.
