Et'hem Bej Mosque

48 Hours in ALBANIA
Many religious structures were destroyed during communist rule in Albania. This mosque was not destroyed during those times but closed for decades. It was kept by the Communist party because it was considered a cultural artifact. There are frescoes outside that were considered priceless. It was reopened in 1991 when the Communist party fell.
