Supported by funding fromSaudi entrepreneur Sheikh Zamil Abdullah Al-Zamil,[1] the mosque was designed by ARC Architectural Consultants[2] and built between 1994 and 1995 on the site of the old Fushë Çela Mosque, which was destroyed during the communist era. The new mosque was named afterAbu Bakr, the firstRashiduncaliph. The inauguration was held on 27 October 1995, and the mosque was renovated in 2008.[3] The mosque is situated at the end of a walkway from the Hotel Colosseo.
The mosque covers a site of 623 square metres (6,710 sq ft) and can accommodate 1,300 worshipers. The twominarets are 41.11 metres (134.9 ft) high each and the main dome stretches to 24 metres (79 ft).[4]
