The Ibrahim Pasha Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Ibrahim Pashës), also known as the Telelka Mosque (Xhamia e Telelkave), is a historic Ottoman mosque in Berat, Albania. It is a national Cultural Monument of Albania.
During the communist dictatorship of Enver Hoxha, the minaret of the Ibrahim Pasha Vlora mosque got destroyed and the building turned into a wood factory.[1] It is located exactly between the Lead Mosque and the King Mosque.
The mosque is still used as a wood workshop. The person who used it was rented out of the muftiate which belongs to the Muslim Community of Albania (KMSH).[2]
