Visit 2 centuries old Ethem Bey Mosque, the cultural monument of Albania, with beautiful frescoes. Despite the fact the mosque was closed during the Communist rule in the country under the USSR, in 1991, 10,000 people gathered to enter the mosque, where police could not interfere. Thus, this beautiful mosque is also the symbol of the Albanians’ rising for their believes and independence.
