The Telelka Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Telelkave), also known as the Ibrahim Pasha Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Ibrahim Pashës), is a former mosque, located in Berat, Albania. The former mosque was designated as a Cultural Monument of Albania.[when?]

Overview

[edit]

The former mosque was built by the Ottoman-era governor Ibrahim Pasha Vlora at the end of the 18th century and rebuilt in 1852. In 1967, during the communist dictatorship of Enver Hoxha, the minaret of the mosque was destroyed and the building repurposed as a wood factory.[1] The former mosque is located exactly between the Lead and the King mosques.

The former mosque is still used as a wood workshop. The person who used it was rented out of the muftiate which belongs to the Muslim Community of Albania (KMSH).[2]
