Ishak Çelebi Mosque is an Ottoman mosque that was built in 1506 by the city's Qadi, Ishak Çelebi. The mosque has a single dome and was enlarged in the 19th century by encroaching on its porch, which thus became a space for prayer. The mosque is also distinguished by its large upper wooden gallery, whose balcony was built by the French in 1912. The wall paintings, which were damaged during the Second World War, were partly rebuilt by Italian masters.
The Gazi Hajdar Kadi Mosque is an Ottoman mosque built in 1561-62 by Haydar, Qadi (magistrate of a Sharia court) of Bitola. It is typical of mosques in Bitola, with a square plan, a single large dome and a porch. The mosque is the only one in Northern Macedonia to have two minarets, of which only the bases remain.
The Yeni Mosque or "New Mosque" was built in the 1550s on a former church site dating back to the 7th century. In 1950, the surrounding park was built and the mosque was declared a cultural monument and turned into an art gallery .
