New Mosque, Historic mosque in Thessaloniki, Greece

The New Mosque features a central dome, minaret, and intricate interior decorations that combine Ottoman architectural elements with modern design principles.

Built in 1902 by Italian architect Vitaliano Poselli, the mosque served the Donmeh community until the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923.

The building transformed from a mosque to an archaeological museum in 1925 and now functions as an exhibition center displaying various cultural artifacts.

Located in central Thessaloniki at coordinates 40.61547545, 22.95674208458152, the New Mosque welcomes visitors interested in Ottoman architectural heritage.

In April 2024, after 102 years, the New Mosque reopened its doors to Muslim worshippers during Ramazan Bayram celebrations.
