The Teqe Mosque[a] (Albanian: Xhamia e Teqes) is a former mosque and madrasa, located in Gjirokastër, Albania. The former mosque was designated as a Cultural Monument of Albania in 1973;[1] and forms part of the Historic Centres of Berat and Gjirokastër, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was designated in 2005.

Overview

[edit]

It was described by explorer Evliya Çelebi in the 17th century, but its current form was designed by Ahmet Çelebi in 1773.[2] An inscription dates it from 1145 AH (1732/1733 CE). Though named Teqe by its first descriptor, the locals call it Mesh Mosque. Still standing in 1967 and originally slated for demolition soon after, it was reprieved with cultural monument status in 1973.[citation needed]
