Sinan Pasha Mosque
Xhamia e Sinan Pashës
An Ottoman classical mosque completed in 1615. Its tall minaret dominates the old town skyline, and its interior features fine painted decoration.
The Sinan Pasha Mosque was built in 1615 by Sofi Sinan Pasha, an Ottoman governor. Some of its stone is said to have come from a nearby medieval monastery. The square prayer hall is topped by a large dome, and the minaret stands about 43 meters tall. The interior retains floral and geometric paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, which have been restored in recent years and look fresh again. Visitors may enter for free outside prayer times. You must remove your shoes, women must cover their hair and shoulders, and please keep quiet. The mosque stands by the river, next to the stone bridge and Shadrvan Square.
