The King Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia Mbret or Xhamia e Hynqarit, Turkish: Hünkâr Camii) or Sultan Bayezid Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Sulltan Bajazitit) is a historical Ottoman-era mosque within the Ottoman Elbasan Castle in the town of Elbasan, Albania.
The mosque was built by Sultan Bayazid II around 1482–1485. This makes it one of the oldest active mosques in Albania besides the Fatih Mosque in Durrës. It became a Cultural Monument of Albania in 1948.[1]
