It's a wonderful and old Mosque, it's a historical place...
One of two mosques in the castle, great o admire. Can also climb to the top, but be careful, there is no railing and the steps are narrow and steep!
🛑ATTENTION!
🛑Very important!🛑
The Red Mosque is the living testimony, that Islam came to Albania before the Ottomans ...
🛑It was built in the 14th (XIV) Century, in 1389.
The Ottomans came in the 15th century.
🛑The fact is that, the MINARIA on the left side ... The Ottomans built the Mosques, with minarets on the right.
😉
Unfortunately, only the foundations of the mosque and the first main pillar of the minaret stand. no worship. It was the only mosque in the castle.
The Red Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Kuqe) is a ruined mosque in Berat Castle, Berat, Albania. It is a Cultural Monument of Albania since 1961.
According to Ottoman explorer Evliya Çelebi (1611-1682), the mosque was built under the reign of Bayazid II. It was probably built in the 15th century and was one of the oldest mosques in the country. It was probably built shortly after the conquest of Berat by the Ottomans in 1417. The oldest written record dates from 1431/32. The original names were Mosque of the ruler and Mosque of conquest.
