The Xhamia e Madhe Mosque in Shkodër, Albania

I'm not religious. I don't have any particular denomination. I simply took this photo because it appeared awesome to behold during this golden hour. They were also playing something loud and singing a verse in the Q'oran that made the atmosphere all the more regal and righteous.

Albania used to be under the rule of Ottoman Turks so I can imagine they would have built mosque like this all over the place. I don't know how old this particular one is but it could very well be from the 17th century.

Have you been to Shkodër?
