The Yeni Mosque, situated in Bitola, North Macedonia, is an historic and culturally significant structure. Built in 1558 by Kadi Mahmud-efendi, it is known for its exquisite decorative ornaments and stalactites, as well as being the only example of glazed decorative features in the country. Today, the mosque houses an art gallery that draws a variety of locals and tourists alike. Visitors to the Yeni Mosque can enjoy its eclectic architecture, an amalgamation of both Early Ottoman and Classical Ottoman styles; as well as its interesting history, full of myths and stories, such as it being built on the same site as where a church once dedicated to St George was thought to have been placed. All in all, the Yeni Mosque is a must-see attraction for anyone looking to immerse themselves in local culture and gain insight into this intriguing destination.
