It is unique city because of the panorama view given by the crown of the mountain ranges of Peja while the River Lumbardhi that passes through the city brings the fresh air from the Rugova Gorge where residents spend their free time walking on the riverside promenade.Peja is now a very attractive destination for visitors. Its geographical position, natural and cultural wealth, fertile lands and rural development, the active life of the community, sports as well as the traditions and artistic culture of the community make Peja to be unique in the region and to be visited by tourists all year round. The history shows that Peja has a very early development. Archaeological facts show that the early ancient settlement was located in the part of the Peja plain known as \u201cGradina\u201d.  Archaeological finds show that this ancient settlement was created on the foundations of an earlier Dardanian locality. Peja, which in ancient times was known as Siparantum of Dardania, during the middle Ages and other centuries we also encounter names such as Pentza, Peka, Pech and Forno.So all this shows that Peja was a very well organized settlement and here an organized life developed at a higher economic and social level. Peja also has a history of development in different periods and almost every period has left its traces where visitors can experience all the history, cultures and traditions as if they were in different times. In history, Peja is also known among the cities that have played an important role at the national level. This city is also known as the city of Haxhi Zeka, who was a patriot and activist of the Albanian national issue. Haxhi Zeka is known as the founder of the League of Peja after the dissolution of the League of Prizren. Seeing this movement as quite dangerous, the occupier eliminated it by executing it in 1902. You can find all this history presented on the cultural tourist trail in the city of Peja in different ways as historical objects, presentations in the museum of Peja, in the daily life of citizens or even through photographs.\"\n\t\tdata-event-trigger=\"click\"\n\t\tdata-always-visible=\"on\"\n\t\tdata-id=\"365\"\n\t\tdata-no-lazy=\"1\"\n\t\tdata-lazy-src=\"\"\n\t\tdata-lazy=\"false\"\n\t\tloading=\"eager\"\n\t\tdata-skip-lazy=\"1\"\n\t\t>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<map

The kullas represent an essential part of Peja's heritage, dating from the 18th to 20th centuries. These fortified homes, built with two or three floors, often feature detailed exterior decorations and reflect the craftsmanship of Albanian stone masons. Each floor served a specific function: the first floor as a stable, the second as family living quarters, and the third as a men's gathering room. Peja was once rich in these kullas, each with unique architectural features, but many have been destroyed over time due to various reasons, including occupations and lifestyle changes. The cultural trail includes visits to the most interesting kullas, such as Haxhi Zeka's, Kahreman Aga's , Gockaj's (open for visits), and Zenel Bey's, the oldest kulla in the city.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-info\" id=\"hotspot-hotspot-365-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"hotspot-title\">Bajrakli Mosque<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BAJRAKLI-Mosque-e1742327080195-1024x1024.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BAJRAKLI-Mosque-e1742327080195-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BAJRAKLI-Mosque-e1742327080195-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BAJRAKLI-Mosque-e1742327080195-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BAJRAKLI-Mosque-e1742327080195-768x769.webp 768w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BAJRAKLI-Mosque-e1742327080195.webp 1089w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Bajrakli Mosque is an asset of the architectural cultural heritage under protection. It was built in the second half of the 15th century, namely in 1471 on the core of the old bazaar in Peja. Its donor was Mehmet Fatihu who also financed the Great Mosque in Prishtina. This mosque is one of the most important sacral architectural buildings of the Ottoman period and as such represents a testament to the cultural and architectural developments during the 15th century in the city of Peja.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As a classical monumental building with a complete compositional scheme, it possesses high aesthetic values that include combined volumes on the exterior, qualitative construction techniques and original decorative elements preserved both on the exterior and in its interior. It is also distinguished as the mosque with the highest dome (cupola) in Peja. Within it is a complex of tombs, most of which have inscriptions. Among them are those from the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Within these tombs on the right side are also the tombs of well-known personalities of the nation, such as the tomb of Haxhi Zeka, that of Ali Pasha Gucia, and the tomb of Haxhi Mustafa Bey. The tombs also have decorative moles. Despite being under protection, during the last war in Kosovo in 1999 the monument was burned by Serbian forces. But after the war, thanks to the Italian organization \"Intersos\" and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 2002 the mosque was restored, preserving its originality almost entirely. There was also a conservation and restoration intervention by the Turkish Tika in 2018. It continues to be in the function of citizens of the Islamic faith who practice spiritual and religious rituals.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-info\" id=\"hotspot-hotspot-365-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"hotspot-title\">Haxhi Zeka's Mill Complex<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mill-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mill-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mill-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mill-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mill-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mill.webp 1633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 115%\">The economic history of Peja is closely tied to the construction and operation of the Haxhi Zeka Mill, a key project that marked the beginning of an industrialization period for the city and the broader region. This mill, which served not only the residents of Peja but also those from surrounding areas like Rozhaje, Plav, and Gusinje, became a strategic hub for trade and rural development. Its significance extended beyond economic benefits, as it also carried a national dimension due to the involvement of Haxhi Zeka, a well-known patriot and activist of the Albanian National Movement. As the founder of the \u201cPeja League\u201d, Haxhi Zeka remains a central figure in the history of Albanian resistance and political organization in the late 19th century. The Haxhi Zeka Mill, built at the end of the 19th century, represents an irreplaceable architectural and cultural heritage not only for Peja but for all of Kosovo. This unique complex bridged Western architectural style with Eastern elements and local design, creating a building of distinctive aesthetic and functional value for its time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 115%\">The Mill Complex initially consisted of the mill itself, the granary, a grain storage facility, stables for horses, and a two-story tower that served as an inn for travelers from distant regions. Particularly interesting was the mill's mechanism, brought from Austro-Hungary, which initially operated using water power and later switched to electricity, a novelty for the time that paved the way for the modernization of the agricultural industry in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 115%\">Unfortunately, the complex has suffered significant damage and reduction over the years. From an original area of 45 acres, only 10 acres remain today due to various uses and deliberate damage. In 1994, the mill was burned by Serbian forces, and a similar disaster occurred in 1998. However, following the war, the complex underwent important phases of restoration, and today it holds an important place on the cultural tourism map of Kosovo. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 115%\">In 2004, the mill was restored by the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports (MCYS) and the Municipality of Peja, while in 2015, the granary was restored by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Municipality of Peja, and MCYS. As a result of this restoration and conservation process, only two functional buildings remain today: the mill and the granary. The various cultural activities held within this complex have revived its role as a center of cultural and historical heritage for Peja and the region. With this rich history, the Haxhi Zeka Mill Complex stands as a clear testament to the deep connection between economic development, and the preservation of national identity in Kosovo.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-info\" id=\"hotspot-hotspot-365-10\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"hotspot-title\">The First Albanian School<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The first Albanian school in Peja is an asset of the architectural cultural heritage under protection. It was built in the second half of the 19th century, by the Renaissance man Haxhi Zeka. From this school emerged the warriors of national culture and first teachers of Albanian education who later worked to spread Albanian education to their compatriots, contributing to the opening of schools in the native language. During the restoration in 1979, it underwent changes from its original state; however, it has preserved original elements of the time. This building was burned in 1999 by the Serbian occupying forces. After the war, it was restored by the staff of the \u201cTet\u00eb Marsi\u201d Primary School in Peja, and until 2011 it continued to serve the students as the lower education cycle.In 2011\/2012, there were restoration and conservation interventions by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports. It was also restored by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports in 2023\/2024. It is currently used by the Veterans of Education of the Municipality of Peja.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-info\" id=\"hotspot-hotspot-365-11\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"hotspot-title\">The Hammam of Haxhi Bey<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hamamm-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hamamm-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hamamm-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hamamm-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hamamm-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hamamm.webp 1633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Hammam of Haxhi Bey is one of the most important architectural and cultural landmarks of the city of Peja. It was built between 1462 and 1485 by Haxhi Hasan Bey, during a time when Peja was the center of the Sanxhak of Dukagjini. This ancient monument, constructed in a historically significant period for the region, holds special value for the city of Peja, reflecting the typical Ottoman architecture of the era. It is worth noting that in the same period, in 1471, the Mosque \u00c7arshi Xhamija (also known as Bajrakli Mosque), as another important monument that has preserved the historical identity of Peja, was constructed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The structure of the Hammam is built with stone and brick, while its domes, covered with lead, are designed with holes that allow natural light to penetrate, creating a unique atmosphere within the space. The building has a sophisticated layout, where the interior is divided into two separate sections, allowing the Hammam to be used by both genders simultaneously while maintaining privacy and traditional elegance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The floor plan of the Hammam includes several functional spaces, such as the fountain area, an intermediary space, a massage and bathing area, a water storage room, and a furnace for heating. The under floor channels (hypocaust system) utilized steam from hot water to heat the floors and interior spaces, showcasing the technological development and advanced construction techniques of the time. Besides its role as a public bath, the building has undergone various stages of use throughout history. In later times, it was used as a storage facility, exhibition space, and a venue for educational and cultural activities for the residents of Peja.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This monument has faced several attempts at destruction during various occupations, particularly by Serbian occupiers, but the citizens of Peja have shown a continuous commitment to its protection and preservation. The first restoration of this special monument took place in 1997, initiated by locals who wanted to safeguard their cultural heritage. In 2004, the building underwent a more comprehensive restoration, and today, the Hammam serves as a cultural space where artistic activities and exhibitions are held, not only by the community of Peja but also by the wider artistic community. It continues to be an important point of reference for Peja's history, culture, and identity, demonstrating the enduring power of heritage to survive through the centuries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-info\" id=\"hotspot-hotspot-365-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"hotspot-title\">Defterdar Mosque<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Deftedar-768x1024.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Deftedar-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Deftedar-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Deftedar.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Defterdar Mosque is an asset of the cultural and architectural heritage under protection.

It contains authentic artistic values and qualitative construction techniques, as well as original indigenous elements, especially in the exterior, while the interior is permeated by decorative elements with combined artistic values. In its courtyard there are about 50 old stone graves. Among them is the grave of the Defterdar, his wife and daughter. This mosque was burned down by Serbian forces in 1998-1999. In 2008-2009, the NGO \u201cIntersos\u201d financed by the Italian Government, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, carried out its restoration.It continues to be used for religious rituals of Islamic believers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-info\" id=\"hotspot-hotspot-365-13\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"hotspot-title\">Kushumli Mosque<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-thumb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kurshumli-Xhamia-1024x643.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kurshumli-Xhamia-1024x643.webp 1024w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kurshumli-Xhamia-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kurshumli-Xhamia-768x482.webp 768w, https:\/\/maps.pejatourism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kurshumli-Xhamia.webp 1236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hotspot-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Kushumli Mosque is an asset of the architectural cultural heritage under protection.

The building belongs to the classical mosques and as such represents the local construction methods, which were also used for the construction of the towers.\u00a0 It is believed that the name Kushumli Xhami has remained since in the past the roof of the mosque was covered with a lead dome. During a certain period, the mosque was also used as a gunpowder warehouse at one time, where because of an explosion the dome was destroyed. After that, a simple roof was made, and it was covered with tiles. In the courtyard of the mosque there are several cemeteries belonging to different time periods.
