Çelebi Sultan Mehmed Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Didymoteicho, Greece.
The mosque features limestone walls measuring 30 meters on each side with a wooden pyramidal roof and decorative inscriptions throughout the structure.
Construction started under Sultan Bayezid I in 1389, paused after his death, and resumed under Sultan Mehmed I until completion in March 1420.
The interior prayer space contains frescoes depicting a heavenly city on the southern wall, demonstrating the intersection of Ottoman and European artistic traditions.
The monument stands in the center of Didymoteicho, with current restoration work following damage from a 2017 fire that affected the roof structure.
The structure represents the oldest mosque built on European soil, featuring walls over 2 meters thick and an innovative wooden roof system.
