The Sinan Pasha Mosque (Albanian Xhamia e Sinan Pashës; Serbo-Croatian Синан Пашина Џамија / Sinan Pašina Džamija; Turkish Sinan Paşa Camii) in Prizren is an important cultural monument from the Ottoman era of Kosovo. It is also the largest Islamic house of worship in the country and a landmark of the city of Prizren.
The mosque was built by vizier Cigalazade Yusuf Sinan Pasha at the beginning of the 17th century, not far from the river Prizrenska Bistrica (Alb. Lumëbardhi) in the center of the old town. Its construction period is usually dated between 1600 (or 1608) and 1615. Stones and plastic decorations from the destroyed Church of the Archangels were used for the walls. The mosque was fully restored between 2007 and 2011.
The mosque is built on a square plan, the side length is 17.80 m. The dome is supported by an octagonal tambour on trumpets. The rectangular space of the mihrab is covered by a semi-calotte. Most of the decorations on the ceiling of the prayer room date from the 19th century. The ornaments are floral and colorful. The four-column, three-domed porch was destroyed during World War I and rebuilt in 2011. The height of the minaret is given as 42 m (Trifunović). It has a sheref (balcony) and a typical Ottoman conical roof with roof decorations.
