The Eski Mosque (Macedonian: Татар Синан Бег Џамија, romanized: Tatar Sinan Beg Džamija; Albanian: Xhamia Sinan Tatar Pasha; Turkish: Eski Camii; "Old mosque") is a mosque in Kumanovo, North Macedonia

History

The mosque was built in 1532 at a time when North Macedonia was a part of the Ottoman Empire. It was then later reconstructed in 1751 and 2008.[2] During World War II in 1943, the minaret was demolished and rebuilt again in the same year.[3]

Architecture

The mosque features a large square and seven small squares. The mosque's minaret stands at a height of 23 meters. The building was constructed with yellowish stone blocks. The mosque also features a small graveyard with tombstone dates back to 1659.[3]
