Teqe e Helvetive (Halveti Tekke)
Painted wooden ceiling

Berat, Albania

This Tekke, across from the Sultan's Mosque, was dedicated to the Halveti Sufi Order and built in 1785; it is considered the finest in Albania. The main room is square with a fine wood-carved ceiling, with a central rosette having a radial geometry, above walls decorated with elegant painted panels.
