Xhamia e Plumbit

The Lead Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Plumbit), also known as the Mosque of Mehmet Bushati, is a historical mosque in Shkodër, northwestern Albania. Built in 1773 by Albanian pasha Mehmed Bushati of the Bushati family, who served as vizier of the Pashalik of Scutari, it was named the Lead Mosque because all of its cupolas were covered with lead[1]. Through this construction, Bushati intended to give his city of birth the feeling of a capital[2]. The mosque was designated as a Cultural Monument of Albania in 1948[1].
