HUSEYIN SHAH MOSQUE

 

Hüseyin Shah Mosque and Mausoleum, located in the village of Saray in the city of Skopje in North Macedonia, was built between 1554-68.

 

The mosque was destroyed at the end of the 17th century during the invasion of the Austrians. The mihrab and the vault of the mosque were destroyed as well as the tomb during the Bulgarian invasion of Skopje in 1915.  The temple, which was damaged in the 1963 Skopje earthquake, was restored only in 1977 in accordance with the project prepared by the Historical Artifacts Protection Agency.

 

The mosque, whose restoration started in 2016, was put into service in 2018.
