Mustafa Pasha Mosque ( mk, Мустафа-пашина џамија; ; tr, Mustafa Paşa Camii) is an Ottoman Empire, Ottoman-era mosque located in the Old Bazaar, Skopje, Old Bazaar of Skopje, North Macedonia.

History

The structure stands on a plateau above the old bazaar, built in 1492 by Çoban Mustafa Pasha, who later became vizier on the court of Sultan Selim I (1512-1520). The mosque is largely intact from its original state, and no additions have been made through the years. The body of Umi, the daughter of Mustafa Pasha, is entombed in the türbe next to the mosque. The mosque has a rose garden. A five-year renovation of the mosque, funded by the Turkish government, was completed in August 2011.
