Naziresha Mosque

The Naziresha Mosque is a Cultural Monument of Albania, located in Elbasan. It was built in 1599 by a Naziresha (Nazire), the daughter of a Nazır (minister). After being partly damaged in 1920 due to an earthquake (its minaret balcony and part of its typical Albanian roof was destroyed), it became a Cultural Monument in 1948.

During a renovation in 2012, the traditional high red tile roof which was standing for several hundred years has been replaced by a metallic dome.
