The Et'hem Bey Mosque, located in the heart of Tirana, Albania, is a significant historical and cultural landmark. Constructed between 1791 and 1823, the mosque is named after its founder, Molla Bey of Petrela, and later completed by his son, Haxhi Et'hem Bey. Renowned for its intricate decorations and frescoes depicting trees, waterfalls, and bridges, the mosque stands out as a fine example of Ottoman architecture. Despite being closed during the communist era, it reopened in 1991 after a peaceful protest, symbolizing the resilience of religious and cultural identity in Albania.
