Placed on the site of an earlier war-damaged predecessor and surrounded by gardens, the huge Sheik Zamil Abdullah Al Zamil Mosque, built in 1995 with the support of the Saudi sheik of the same name, forms the focal point of Shkodra's proud Muslim community. Still maintained by the Al Zamil family, the stunning building with its intricately decorated interior welcomes visitors after prayer times; the entrance is on the side facing away from the Colosseo hotel. There's also an impressive old partisan war monument in the park behind the mosque.
