History

[edit]

Gazi Ali Beg Mosque was built in the middle of 15th century.[4] From the beginning until today, the Mosque has always served as a sacred object for the rites and religious ceremonies of the Islamic community. Until 1999, although with some small interventions, the mosque had preserved some of the original architectural features.[2][5][6][7]
