Just a few metres further southwest, towards Rruga Agim Ramadani (M9), there are further reminders of the Ottoman period. The Yashar Pasha Mosque on Rr. Ibrahim Lutfiu is also one of the important sights. According to an inscription inside, it was either commissioned or inaugurated by Yashār Mehmet Pāshā on 17 May 1834. The old portico had to make way for a road widening and was replaced by a wooden extension.

The interior is lined with plaster and decorated with ornaments and paintings. Above the prayer niche is a statue bearing the seal of King Solomon and the signature of Sultan Mahmud II. The iron lattice windows and the panes decorated with floral patterns have been preserved in their original condition.
