Gazi Mehmet Pasha's Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Gazi Mehmet Pashës) also known as the Bajrakli Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Bajraklisë) is a mosque in the city of Prizren. It is one of the oldest Islamic religious sites in Kosovo. Building started in 1561 and finished in 1573.[1] Its building is part of a complex which included the mosque, a library, a maktab and madrasa, public baths, housing and other buildings in a radius of about 150m. The present-day League of Prizren museum was one of its buildings. The complex stands on the other side of the Lumbardhi i Prizrenit river opposite to the Prizren Fortress. The mosque has a square base and numerous windows, while the main mihrab and the mimber are made of marble.
It was built by the waqf of Dukaginzade Gazi Mehmet Pasha, great-grandson of Dukaginzade Ahmed Pasha.[1] His future mausoleum was built in the courtyard of the mosque, but it was never used as he died ca. 1594–96 in Hungary.
