The Naziresha Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Nazireshës) is a Cultural Monument of Albania, located in Elbasan. It was built in 1599 by a Naziresha (Nazire), the daughter of a Nazır (minister). After being partly damaged in 1920 due to an earthquake (its minaret balcony and part of its typical Albanian roof was destroyed), it became a Cultural Monument in 1948.[1]
