Et'hem Bey Mosque

The Haji Et'hem Bey Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Haxhi Et'hem Beut, Turkish: Hacı Edhem Bey Camii) is a mosque in Tirana, Albania, known for its frescoes outside and inside the portico which depict trees, waterfalls and bridges.

[5] During the totalitarianism of the Socialist People's Republic of Albania, the mosque was closed; it was declared a historical monument and underwent restorations in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Et'hem Bey Mosque is composed of a prayer hall, a portico that surrounds its north and the minaret.

On the north side is the entrance to the prayer hall, which is a squared plan and is constructed in a unique volume.

[8] According to Kristo Frashëri, in the painting of the mosque's portico, an island is portrayed with a river that flows through it where the boats sail.
