Sailors' Mosque
Džamija pomoraca / Xhamia e Detarëve
A white mosque beside Mala Plaža, funded in the 18th century by local seafarers. Its minaret is part of the seafront skyline.
The Sailors' Mosque (Džamija pomoraca) stands on the seafront above Mala Plaža, opposite the Old Town. It was first funded in 1728 by Ulcinj seafarers, when the town was a famous sailing and pirate port on the Adriatic. It was badly damaged in the 1979 Montenegro earthquake and was rebuilt to its original design. Its white minaret, seen alongside the Old Town walls, is an iconic landmark of the Mala Plaža area. The interior is not often open, so most visitors simply photograph the exterior. If it is open outside prayer times you can take a brief look, but dress appropriately.
Opening hours
Exterior open all day; interior open outside service times
