Fier Mosque
The Mosque of Fier (Albanian: Xhamia e Fierit) is a historic Albanian mosque in the town of Fier, Albania. It is not to be confused with the Ottoman-era mosque in another part of the city.
The Mosque of Fier is one of the largest mosques in Albania and is a visitors' attraction of Fier town. It was built in 2005 after the mass-destruction of houses of worship in Fier under the dictator Enver Hoxha, who disbanded all forms of worship except to that to himself.[1]
