Yeni Mosque, Thessaloniki

The Yeni Mosque, built in 1902 by Italian architect Vitaliano Poselli, is a notable example of eclectic architecture in Thessaloniki, Greece. Originally constructed for the Dönmeh community, it is the last mosque built during the Ottoman era in the city. After the population exchange in 1923, the mosque was abandoned and repurposed as an archaeological museum until 1962. It has since been restored and used for cultural events, with recent efforts to reopen it for Islamic worship during significant festivals. The mosque features a unique blend of Baroque, Renaissance, and traditional Islamic architectural styles, making it a fascinating site for tourists and researchers alike.
