Gjakova Old Bazaar
Çarshia e Madhe
One of the largest old bazaars in the Balkans, with a wooden-fronted street stretching about 1 km and the Hadum Mosque nearby.
Gjakova lies about 35 km southeast of Peja. Its grand bazaar dates back to the 17th century, when it had more than a thousand craft workshops. Wooden shopfronts line the flagstone streets for about 1 km. The bazaar was burned in 1999 and later restored. Today the district is filled with cafés, restaurants, and craft shops. At the bazaar entrance, the Hadum Mosque, built in the 16th century, has beautifully painted interiors, and nearby are a clock tower and an old bathhouse. It can be combined with Deçan Monastery as a day trip, about 40 minutes by bus.
