Llapi Mosque

The Llapi Mosque consists of the mosque itself with its minaret, a courtyard with surrounding walls to the north and west, the place of ablution (a fountain for ablution before prayer), which is located inside the surrounding wall.

The base of the mosque has a dimension of 11.5 x 11 m. Its walls are 1.5 m thick and are built of carved sandstone and covered with mortar.

These drawings are highly regarded by Islamic art specialists as rare and unique works of the 16th century.

[1] It is believed that it was built by Ramadan Pasha, and after him it is named the Ramadanie Mosque of Llap.

Most of the documentary evidence testifies that the Llapi Mosque was built in 1470,[4] however, in 1996 a marble plate was found in the courtyard which leads to another date of construction (Hijri 959, respectively 1551).

Later the facade by the side of the street, the western wall of the mosque is covered with white silicate bricks.

While out, the covering silicate bricks and annex have been removed and the damaged mortar has been repaired with traditional lime coating.
