The Parrucë Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Parrucës) is a mosque in Shkodër City, Shkodër County, Albania. An original mosque was constructed in 1937, destroyed in 1967, and was rebuilt in a similar style in 2006.[1]
History
The original Parruca Mosque was constructed in 1937 and destroyed, alongside other houses of worship during the Communist rule of Enver Hoxha, on March 23, 1967.[2][1] The recononstruction was completed in 2006 in the original Ottoman style with funding from Haxhi Sait Jakup Fishta. Exactly 40 years after the destruction of the old mosque, the Parruca Mosque was consecrated on March 23, 2007. The interior is decorated with bright colour paintings.[2]
