Saraçëve Mosque
The Saraçëve Mosque or Sattler Mosque ( Albanian Xhamia e Saraçëve , Serbian - Cyrillic Сарач џамија ) is a historic Ottoman mosque from the early 16th century in the Kosovo -albanischen city Prizren . It is located between Halveti-Tekke and Gazi-Mehmet-Pascha-Hamam in a district where belts and other leather products were traditionally made. It is a national cultural monument .
The construction of the mosque, which took place in 1531, was financed by Kukli Mehmet Bey, the governor of the Vilayet Saloniki and the Paschalik of Bosnia , which is why the mosque is also called the Kukli Mehmet Bey Mosque ( Xhamia e Kukli Mehmedbeut ). When the road was widened in 1963, the main room of the Saraçëve Mosque was destroyed. During renovations in 1977 and 1994, the wall paintings were lost. In 2000 and 2003 the mosque had to be renovated again, and in 2008 the main room was rebuilt. After an electrical failure in 2009, the interior of the mosque burned down.
The square building made of natural stone is 9 meters long and 9 meters wide, covered with building lime and roofed with bricks. The porch has wooden pillars. The dome is located above the octagonal drum .
