The Lead Mosque (Xhamia e Plumbit) in Shkodër, Albania, is a significant 18th-century Ottoman mosque renowned for its distinct lead-covered domes and historical importance. Located centrally in Shkodër, it is easily accessible on foot, though specific wheelchair accessibility might be limited for interior access. Visitors can explore the site independently at no cost, typically spending 30-60 minutes admiring its architecture and peaceful surroundings; guided tours are available for deeper historical context but not essential. The mosque is generally open year-round, though respectful attire (shoulders and knees covered) is advised as it remains an active place of worship, and access might be restricted during prayer times or religious holidays.
