The mosque in the Xhemahallë complex, called the King's Mosque, is one of the first mosques of this style built in Albania. The complex dates back to 1682 and includes a complex hydraulic network that supplied water to the Hamam, madrasa and mosque.
Built in the 15th century, the mosque is famous for its acoustic quality thanks to the casks that are diliberately calculated in the holes on the walls.
The Ancient Synagogue Complex in Oncheasmos (Saranda) dates back to the 4th - 6th century C.E. The building, made of stone, now serves as a museum.
The mosque was largely destroyed during the communist period and was converted to residential house and remains like that until today.
