Kokonozi Mosque
The Kokonozi Mosque, officially the Mosque of Mahmud Agha Kokonozi, also known as the New Bazaar Mosque, is a mosque in Tirana, Albania. It is an Ottoman-era mosque built in 1750 CE and one of the few mosques that survived the Communist dictatorship under the Hoxhaist regime. The mosque's official name is derived from the Ottoman-era title of Agha.
In 1966, the Kokonozi Mosque was closed and transformed into a food storehouse, and later it was used as a tobacco store. The Kokonozi Mosque was reopened on February 18, 1991.
