The Tekke of Dollmë ( Albanian: Teqja e Dollmës) or Haxhi Mustafa Baba Tekke ( Turkish: Mustafa Baba Dolma tekkesi) is a Cultural Monument of Albania, located in Lagjja Kala, Krujë. [1] Before its destruction by the Communist dictatorship, the tekke of Krujë had 360 holy graves and was known as "Little Khorasan". [2]
It is located in the southern corner of the fortress of Kruja. [3]
The tekke was built in 1193 AH (1779–1780 AD) by Adem Aga Toptani (d. 1784), whose marble tomb is inside the tekke. It may have originally been a mosque instead of a Sufi shrine, since there is a mihrab (prayer niche) inside. Pilgrims gathered at the tekke on the feast day of August 11. [3]
The Dollma family is buried inside, and some of the graves are revered as shrines: [3]
