The Great Mosque is located in the No.2 Durres neighborhood with an area of ​​1319 square meters and 1776 square meters of land area. In 1967 it was transformed into the Youth Palace (Palace of Culture).

Konstruksioni i saj ishte planifikuar me dy minare, njëra e pa përfunduar dhe e ngelur deri në bazamentin e katit të dytë, për arsye të ndërprerjes së punimeve në fund viteve 1938. Merita me e madhe i dedikohet Myftiut te Durresit deshmorit te Islamit H.H.Mustafa Varoshi. I cili ishte ideatori dhe promotori i ndertimit te kesaj xhamie, per me teper ka blere me financat e tij tapetin e xhamise, te sjellur nga Persia.

    Xhamia Durrës, or the Durrës Mosque, stands as a symbol of religious diversity and architectural beauty in the heart of Durrës, Albania. This striking mosque, with its elegant design, showcases intricate details and a graceful minaret that towers above the cityscape. What makes it particularly unique is its location adjacent to the Roman Amphitheatre, creating a captivating juxtaposition of different historical eras. The mosque's peaceful courtyard and interior provide a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle, making it an inviting destination for both worshippers and those interested in Albania's rich cultural heritage. Xhamia Durrës is a testament to the country's harmonious coexistence of different religious traditions and a captivating site for anyone interested in history and architecture.

    Those who live in Dürres, I felt that they are so lucky. Because every morning in fajr, they can hear Adhan from this mosque. Those muslim brothers and sisters from other parts of Europe know, what a blessing it is.

Its construction was planned with two minarets, one finished and unfinished up to the second floor basement, due to the end of the works in the late 1938s. The greatest merit is dedicated to the Mufti of Durres, the tenth of Islam HHMustafa Varoshi . In 1967 he became a young man in the Palace of Culture.

  • 2/5 Saad N. 3 years ago on Google
    While this Mosque can look impressive, when you give it a close look, you discover a very basic building, with a modernish yellow painting that makes it look like a communist creation. It does not trigger curiosity to discover the inside, at all.

    (Translated by Google) It is worth looking into this mosque. Non-Muslim believers can also visit. (Take off our footwear before entering!) Although not an old building, it paints a picture of the world of Islamic temples. Carpeted interior floor, almost interior without interior, pulpit. (Original) Érdemes betekinteni ebbe a mecsetbe. A nem muzulmán hívők is látogathatják. (Belépés előtt a lábbelinket vegyük le!) Ugyan nem egy régi épület, de képet fest az iszlám templomok világáról. Szőnyeggel fedett belső padozat, szinte berendezés nélküli belső tér, szószék.
