Alexandroupolis Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Alexandroupolis, Greece

The Alexandroupolis Mosque features a square prayer hall constructed of marble with detailed engravings and inscriptions throughout its interior walls and columns.

Built before 1895 and officially opened in 1906, the mosque initially included a madrasa and has undergone multiple reconstructions following two arson attacks in the 20th century.

The mosque maintains regular prayer services for the Muslim community of Alexandroupolis and stands as a symbol of religious diversity in Western Thrace.

Located on Kassandras Street with a single minaret on its western side, the mosque remains accessible for worship and contains the marble tomb of Ottoman general Fayek Hussein Pasha.

The building predates the establishment of Alexandroupolis itself and stands among modern structures as one of the few remaining Ottoman religious buildings in the region.
