Hajdar Pasha Mosque

The Hajdar Pasha Mosque is the oldest mosque in Ohrid, North Macedonia. Visitors go here to observe Islamic architecture and learn about the city's Ottoman history. The site is noted for its historical significance and the courtyard where a cypress tree once stood.

Getting There

The mosque is located within the old town area. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk through the pedestrian streets. The journey typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes on foot.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to view the exterior architecture and explore the courtyard.

When to Visit
