Zall Tekke

The Zall Tekke (Albanian: Teqeja e Zallit) or Asim Baba Tekke (Turkish: Âsım Baba Tekkesi) is a Bektashi teqe in Gjirokastër, Albania.

[1] Seyyid Muhammed Asim Baba of Üsküdar (Istanbul) founded the tekke in 1780.

It is also known as the Teqeja e Zallit (Gravel Tekke) or as the "Tekke of Pebbles" due to its location at the side of a river bed that is usually dry.

[2] The tekke also hosted a library with books and manuscripts in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and later also Albanian.

The baba and dervishes later returned, and the tekke was restored in 1916.
