KAPLLAN PACHA'S BEARD
Small mausoleum of Albanian-Ottoman governor Kapllan Pacha Toptani (c. 1760-1819) wedged under the vault of a modern building.
This small Ottoman mausoleum (Tyrbja e Kapllan Pashës) is wedged under the vault of a building annexed to the Plaza Hotel (TID Tower), an 85 m high tower erected in 2016 on the site of the Sulejman-Pasha mosque (1614) destroyed in 1967. Octagonal in shape and with 8 columns, the 4 m high white turbe was erected in 1820 for Kapllan Pasha Toptani (c. 1760-1819), governor of Tirana who was poisoned by his daughter whose fiancé he had wanted to murder. The tomb is empty because the sarcophagus of Kapllan was later transferred to Constantinople.
