Muradie Mosque
Xhamia e Muradies
A 16th-century mosque designed by Ottoman master architect Sinan, with red-and-white stone exterior walls, one of the oldest buildings in the city.
Muradie Mosque was built between 1537 and 1542 and is traditionally attributed to Mimar Sinan, the famous Ottoman architect. Its square prayer hall is topped by a dome, and its exterior walls alternate red brick and white stone, with a slender minaret standing beside it. It is one of the few historic buildings in Vlorë to survive wars and urban redevelopment, and it is a first-grade national cultural relic. Entry is free outside prayer times. Visitors must remove their shoes and dress respectfully. It stands just 100 meters from the Independence Monument.
