Known locally as the Great Mosque. Built in 1937, it is sometimes called the New Mosque because it was constructed later than the older Ottoman mosques. It is one of the main Islamic religious centres in the city, with a large prayer hall and modern Islamic architecture. During Islamic holidays such as Eid, it becomes an important gathering place for worshippers.
The Great Mosque of Durrës, also called the New Mosque and also the Grand Mosque, is a mosque built during the era of the Albanian Kingdom and located in the port-town of Durrës, in the Durrës County of Albania. The mosque is designated as a Cultural Monument of Albania.
