Imperial Mosque also known as (Albanian: Xhamia e Mbretit, Serbian: Царска џамија у Приштини) is a Ottoman Mosque in Pristina, Kosovo[lower-alpha 1]. It was built in 1461 by Sultan Mehmet II Fatih.

Imperial Mosque was declared a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990 by the Republic of Serbia.[2]

History

During the Austro-Turkish wars, at the end of 17th century, it was temporarily turned into a Catholic church. One of the most prominent Albanian writers, Pjetër Bogdani, also an active leader of the pro-Austrian rebels, was buried here. After the Ottomans regained control, in 1690, the bones of Pjetër Bogdani were exhumed and thrown into the street by the Ottoman soldiers.[1]
