Mustafa Pasha Mosque
Мустафа-пашина џамија
An Ottoman-era mosque completed in 1492, set high above the Old Bazaar, and one of the best-preserved Ottoman buildings in Skopje.
The mosque was built by Mustafa Pasha, an Ottoman vizier. Its single dome, stone walls and slender minaret make it a classic example of early Ottoman architecture. It survived the 1963 earthquake and was later restored with Turkish funding. The painted interior and the peaceful rose garden in the courtyard are elegant and serene. Visitors may enter outside prayer times. You must remove your shoes, and women should cover their heads and shoulders. It stands right beside the fortress's east gate and can be visited together with the fortress and the Old Bazaar.
