The mosque named 'Iljaz bej Mirahori' is the first and the most ancient building in Korça. Built in 1496, it has historical, cultural and religious value. This mosque is the first monument built with lead cubes in Albania. It has a particular building technique and this is the reason why it has been considered one of the most rare mosques in the Balkans, above all because of the lead cubes. Paintings inside the building were made in the 18th century. To build the mosque, able craftsmen from the Ottoman empire were collected. A powerful earthquake in 1960 destroyed the Clock Tower and the minaret, but it didn't impact the mosque building. During the Communism time, the war against religions and faith made the mosque become just a warehouse. Also this cultural 'earthquake' couldn't destroy this building. It reopened for religious reasons to serve Muslims in January 1991. The Iljaz bej Mirahori Mosque is now a Cultural Monument.

Srpenica (Italian: Serpenizza) is a village on the right bank of the Soča River in the Municipality of Bovec in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It includes the hamlet of Brezovo, which was abandoned after the Second World War. Srpenica was attested in written records in 1496 as Sterpeniza. The name is probably derived from a Romance reflex of the Latin word stirps 'tree, bush, root', which is preserved in Italian sterpo 'bushes, roots that have died off' and in Ladin šterp 'brambles, brush litter'. A less likely theory derives the name from the Ladin common noun stirpe 'sterile cow'. From the mid-18th century onward, many residents of the village made a living by peddling. Others traditionally worked outside the village as seasonal labor. Nearly the entire village was destroyed by a fire in 1905, after which 10 houses were not rebuilt. Before the First World War, there were nine inns in the village. The village was not destroyed like others in the area during the First World War, although houses in poor condition were razed by the military and the narrowest streets were widened. During the war, the entire population was evacuated to Piedmont, from which they returned in 1919. After the Second World War, many of the residents emigrated, resulting in several abandoned and decaying houses in the village.
