Qarshia e Vjetër
Qarshia e Vjetër is a historic bazaar in Pejë, western Kosovo, with a long street lined by shops. The quarter dates back to the fifteenth century.
Oriental-style buildings reflect Ottoman influence and surround craftsmen selling caps, capes, jewellery, textiles, and handmade goods. Merchants traditionally negotiate prices with customers. The street has served commerce, craft, and social life for generations, bringing people together to meet and exchange news. Nearby Muslim and Christian neighbourhoods reflect Pejë’s varied history, shaped by Ottoman, Montenegrin, Austro-Hungarian, and Yugoslav influences.
The Circle contains an old fountain and a burial ground. These details place everyday shopping beside visible traces of the city’s past.
