This solitary Ottoman minaret in the old bazaar is all that remains of the Arasta Mosque, which was demolished in the 19th century. The minaret itself survived, and now stands somewhat incongruously among the shops and cafes of Prizren's commercial centre, a thin finger of stone pointing skyward with nothing around it.
The minaret is notable for an unusual decorative symbol worked into the brickwork near its summit — a detail that has puzzled architectural historians and given it a small but loyal following among visitors interested in Ottoman curiosities. You will probably walk past it without noticing unless you look up; it is worth pausing for a moment among the market stalls to locate it.
