Municipality of Gjakova Must-Sees

Gjakova is defined by its Ottoman-era heritage and significant historical landmarks. The city features the 16th-century Hadum Mosque and the 18th-century Terzijski Bridge, an 11-arch stone structure. Cultural preservation is evident in traditional fortified tower houses like Kulla e Koshit and the Ethnographic Museum, which showcases regional crafts. The landscape is further shaped by Radoniq Lake, Kosovo’s second-largest body of water, and the historical sites within the rugged Koshare region.
