Story · Lead Mosque

You're standing at the Lead Mosque in Shkodër, Xhamia e Plumbit in Albanian. It's also called the Mosque of Mehmet Bushati. Take a look at the domes. They used to be covered in lead, which is where the name comes from. The lead is long gone. It was stolen bit by bit in the twentieth century, and in 1916 the Austrian army took whatever was left.
