Haci Turgut Mosque

This is one of the oldest mosques in Ohrid, established in 1466 through the bequest of Haci Turgut. Visitors come here to observe Ottoman-era religious architecture and to see the minaret, which features a cross-shaped ornament associated with local historical narratives.

Visit Duration

Allow roughly 30 to 45 minutes to view the exterior architecture and the surrounding courtyard.
