Yeni Mosque, Edessa photo 1
The Yeni Mosque, a former mosque located in Edessa, Greece, was completed in the 17th century during the Ottoman era and is the only surviving mosque in the town. Abandoned in 1912, it was transformed into a history museum in 1942, making it accessible to visitors. The mosque features a square prayer hall topped with a hemispherical dome adorned with scaly tiles, and an open colonnaded porch. Inside, visitors can see the preserved mihrab and intricate painted decorations, including geometric shapes and floral motifs. The building's rich history and architectural beauty make it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in Ottoman heritage in Greece.
