The Suzi Çelebi Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Suzi Çelebiut) is an Ottoman-era mosque in Prizren, Kosovo.[1]
The mosque was built in 1523, and is the second earliest Islamic building in the city of Prizren and the first completely Islamic architecture. It has a rectangular plan with a four-bay roof covered with tiles. Its roof is raised on eleven wooden pillars and covered with a triangular roof. A capital decorated with arched shapes is made on the wooden pillars. In the courtyard of the mosque are the old cemeteries of the city's Muslim priests. There is also the cemetery where Suzi Çelebiu and his brother, Nehari in Abdullah, are buried; both are known as among the first poets in Prizren.[2][3]
