Fier Mosque stands in the central Albanian city of Fier, close to the main square. It was built in 2005 with donations and aid from Saudi Arabia and is counted among the larger mosques in the country. The city also has a separate historic mosque dating from the Ottoman period, so this building is best understood as a recent place of worship alongside the town's older architectural heritage.
History
This text was compiled from sourced information with AI assistance and has not yet been reviewed by an editor. Please report any errors.
Under the socialist government of Enver Hoxha, almost all places of worship in the city were destroyed. This created the need for a new mosque in Fier, which was completed in 2005 with donations and aid from Saudi Arabia.
In 2013 the mosque ran into financial difficulties. As a result, the park in front of the building was developed with kiosks and small shops, intended to provide the mosque with income from rent.
