Mosque of Saranda - Xhamia e Sarandës
The Mosque of Saranda was built in 1935, with the contribution of the sisters of King Zog. In 1967, it ceased to function as a religious object and its function was changed, but it was returned to the believers in 1991. The mosque still retains the same physical appearance and structure as it did when it was built. The only exception is the minaret, which was demolished in 1967 and rebuilt in 2004. The Mosque of Saranda is adorned with externally carved stones, a characteristic feature of buildings of that time in the south of the country. The attractive appearance of the object, its location in the heart of the city, and its mission to calm the spirits and cultivate the power and harmony of faith make this religious object frequented by believers of all ages. The Mosque of Saranda attracts many tourists during the summer season, who visit it with enthusiasm.
