It occupies the building of the largest and oldest former Ottoman mosque in the city, originally known as Koca Mahmut Paşa Camii.  The construction started in 1451 under grand vizier Veli Mahmud Pasha but due to his death in 1474 the mosque has been completed in 1494.  The museum was established as a separate entity in 1893 as the National Museum directed by Czech Václav Dobruský with its headquarters in the former mosque that previously housed the National Library between 1880 and 1893. The Hassan Pasha Mosque (Arabic: مسجد حسن الباشا‎ ‎ , "Masjid Hassan el-Basha"), also referred to as the Pasha Mosque or the Grand Mosque, is a mosque located in Oran, Algeria.  It was built in 1796 by order of Baba Hassan, Pasha of Algiers, in memory of the expulsion of the Spanish. Dashtadem (Armenian: Դաշտադեմ ; formerly, Nerkin Talin (Note: The majority of residents in neighboring Talin still refer to Dashtadem as Nerkin Talin); Russified as Nizhniy Talin; both meaning "lower Talin") is a village located in the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia.  The village contains the large Dashtadem Fortress dating to the 10th century but substantially rebuilt in the 19th century, along with a chapel dedicated to Saint Sargis also dating to the 10th century.  The fortress keep has an Arabic dedicatory inscription of 1174, written in Kufic script attributing the structure to Sultan ibn Mahmud (Shahanshah), one of the Shaddadids.  Past the village to the north just east of the road to Talin, and a few hundred meters before the electric substation (south), are the ruins of a large medieval caravanserai.  Large sections of walls remain standing and the overall plan is still easily distinguished amongst the ruins.  The remains of Stone Age obsidian workshops can be found on a hill to the west.  In a cemetery south of Dashtadem, lies the restored 7th-century Kristapori Vank. The Zal Mahmud Pasha Mosque (Turkish: "Zal Mahmut Paşa Camii" ) is an old Ottoman mosque located near the Eyüp Sultan Mosque in the Eyüp district of Istanbul, Turkey. The Murad Pasha Mosque (Arabic: جامع مراد باشا‎ ‎ , transliteration: "Jami Murad Pasha") is an early Ottoman-era mosque and mausoleum in Damascus, Syria, located in the Suwayqa sector of the Al-Midan quarter.  The mosque was erected and named after Murad Pasha, who served as the Ottoman governor (""wali"") of Damascus between 1568-1569.  The mosque was built in 1568.  The mosque is also known as the Naqshbandi Mosque (Arabic: جامع النقشبندي‎ ‎ ) after the "Naqshbandi" sufi order which it served as a center for. The Column of Marcian (Turkish: "Kıztaşı" ) is a Roman honorific column erected in Constantinople by the "praefectus urbi" Tatianus (450-c.452) and dedicated to the Emperor Marcian (450-57).  It is located in the present-day Fatih district of Istanbul.  The column is not documented in any late Roman or Byzantine source and its history has to be inferred from its location, style and dedicatory inscription. The Seven Bajraktars of Shala "(Alb:Shtat Shaljanet)" were a group of seven Albanian malesori bayraktars from the tribe of Shala and Dukagjin who, in the year of 1806, went together to meet up with Ibrahim Pasha of Scutari, Vizier of Shkodra, to discuss the disarmament of the Malesoris.  However, as they discussed, they were fiercely offended by the Pasha to which the Malesoris responded by opening fire, killing the son of the Pasha, and being eventually killed by Ottoman forces in the castle of Shkoder.  The group was venerated throughout out the decades for their honor and there exists several paintings depicting the seven Highlanders walking with their national costumes and rifles in their belts.  The group was considered to be heroes and started during the Battle of Saraja, in Shkoder, in the spring of 1806, when a bayraktar of Shala fought Ottomans.  The autonomy of Dukagjin was won with sword and pistol from the Ottoman government.  In 1806, Kara Mahmud Pasha congratulated the Malesors of Dukagjin for their autonomy and allowed them to carry arms and freeing them from taxes.  His brother Ibrahim Pasha, however, after succeeding the title, removed the privileges of the Malesors and declared war against them.  During this time, the new Pasha sent his delegate Abaz Aga to Shala, demanding their tribesmen to join the Ottoman army.  The Vizier then called for the bayraktars of Shala and Dukagjin for a meeting but the Malesors did not attend first due to their mistrust of the new Pasha.  The Shala tribesmen held a meeting at the Bridge of Shala, where they vowed to fight for Albania. Gazi Mehmet Pasha's Mosque is one of the oldest monuments of Islamic art in Prizren.  The inscription above the entrance states it was built in 1561.  This mosque has a square base and numerous windows, while the main veneration niche (mihrab) and the pulpit (mimber) are made of marble.  A hexagonal mausoleum (madrasa) has been built in the courtyard of the mosque which Mehmet Pasha earmarked as his grave.  Building complex that mosque settles in, includes a high school (madrasa), a primary school (maktab), a library and a mausoleum for the founder, a bath of Gazi Mehmet Pasha, which is about 150m away from the mosque.  This Mosque, nowadays known as Bajrakli Mosque is behind Albanian League Museum.  Together with Albanian League Complex, Bath of Gazi Mehmet Pasha, and old urban houses, Mehmet Pasha Mosque gives you the sense of Ottoman architecture. Hysen Pasha Mosque (Albanian: "Xhamia e Hysen Pashës" ) or Clock Mosque "(Xhamia e Sahatit)" is a Cultural Monument of Albania, located in Berat.  It was built in 1670 by Hussein Pasha.

Cicolluis or Cicoluis (also known as Cicollus, Cicolus, Cicollui, and Cichol) is a god in Celtic mythology worshiped by the ancient Gaulish peoples and having a parallel in Ireland.  The name is Gaulish and means “All-Breast” or “Great-Breasted” and is probably used to signify strength.  In the Gallo-Roman religion, Cicolluis is thought to be a common epithet for Gaulish Mars.  A Latin dedicatory inscription from Narbonne (which was in the far south of Gaul), France, bears the words (“Mars Cicolluis and Litavis”).  “Mars Cicolluis” has dedications in Xanten, Germany, and Aignay-le-Duc (where his consort is given as Litavis) and Mâlain (where his consorts are given as Litavis and Bellona, Roman goddess and personification of war) of the Côte-d'Or, France.  “Cicolluis” is named alone (not as an epithet of Mars) in an inscription at Chassey, Côte-d'Or, Franche-Comté, France, and a partial inscription from Ruffey-lès-Echirey, Côte-d'Or, France, may be dedicated to Cicolluis.  In Windisch, Switzerland, he is known as “Cicollus,” and in Dijon, Côte-d'Or, France, he is known as “Mars Cicoluis.”
