Imperial Mosque (Sultan Mehmed Fatih Mosque)
Xhamia e Mbretit
An Ottoman mosque ordered built in 1461 by Mehmed II the Conqueror, and the oldest and most important religious building in Pristina.
The Imperial Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque or the King's Mosque, was built in 1460-1461 at the order of Sultan Mehmed II. A single large dome covers the square prayer hall, and the interior features Ottoman-period painted decorations and calligraphy. It stands in the old town beside the clock tower, the Great Bathhouse and the Kosovo Museum, so it suits a walking tour together with them. It is free to enter outside prayer times. Shoes must be removed, and women should wear a headscarf and dress to cover the shoulders and knees.
