Eski Mosque, Komotini
Facts and practical information
The Eski Mosque is a mosque in the Greek town of Komotini dating back to 1608, or 1677/88, based on an inscription. Despite its name, the Eski Mosque was built after the Yeni Mosque of 1585, but it is likely that an original mosque stood at that place, dating back to the time of the Ottoman conquest of the area under Evrenos. According to the 1892 Ottoman salname, the mosque featured an inscription in a "non-Ottoman" language, hence it is possible that the mosque was built on the site of a former Byzantine church. ()
