Kavala Imaret, Ottoman madrasa in Kavala, Greece
The stone building features numerous domes, arches, and decorative elements across its exterior, forming a complex educational and charitable institution in Kavala.
Muhammad Ali Pasha, who later became the ruler of Egypt, established this religious complex during the Ottoman period to serve students and travelers.
The Imaret demonstrates the influence of Ottoman educational traditions through its architectural layout, which includes separate spaces for teaching, prayer, and accommodation.
The structure operates as a hotel, offering guided tours that explain the building's original function as a religious school and charitable institution.
Within the stone walls, students received both religious instruction and practical knowledge while the building provided food and shelter to travelers.
