Kokonozi Mosque
The Kokonozi Mosque, also known as the Mahmoud Agha Kokonozi Mosque or the Mosque of the New Bazaar, is a historic mosque dating from the mid-18th century. First mentioned in 1775, the mosque was extensively restored in 1853 and 1933. The Kokonozi Mosque is one of the few Muslim places of worship in Tirana that survived the Hoxha dictatorship and was not completely destroyed under the atheism decreed by the state in 1966. The mosque served as a storage room for food and tobacco. The mosque was reopened on 18 February 1991.
