Sulejman Pasha was a feudal lord and general of the Ottoman Empire. His origin was the village of Mullet. He founded the city of Tirana, now the capital of Albania, in 1614. At the time he had built a mosque, a bakery and a hammam or a Turkish sauna. A statue of Sulejman Pasha stands in the square named after him in downtown Tirana. A small street in another part of Tirana also bears his name.
