Teqe

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:06:09

A short scramble down the cobblestone lane are the remains of a small hammam as well as a functioning teqe – a small place of worship for those practising the Bektashi branch of Islam. This beautifully decorated teqe has been maintained by successive generations of the Dollma family since 1789. Skanderbeg himself reputedly planted the knotted olive tree at the front.
