The mosque of Tirana is a monument with historical values, which in harmony with the Clock tower form a monumental complex of values for the city, which is presented to every visitor that comes to Tirana. Construction was started in 1789 by Molla Bey and it was finished in 1823 by his son Haxhi Et`hem Bey, great-grandson of Sulejman Pasha. The frescoes of the mosque depict trees, waterfalls and bridges; still life paintings, a rarity in Islamic art. Tours of the mosque are given daily, though no prayer service is provided.
