Why Et'hem Bey Mosque matters
Small and elegant, this mosque stands out for its painted interior, with flowers, trees and landscapes on its walls. It was closed to worship for years during the communist era, then reopened. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times, so dress modestly. It's a quiet pause beside a busy square.
Talking points
- The interior is covered in painted decoration.
- It is on Skanderbeg Square.
- Visitors should dress modestly.
