Hamza Bey Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Thessaloniki, Greece
The Hamza Bey Mosque features Islamic architectural elements with a central dome structure and detailed stone carvings throughout its rock construction.
Built in 1460, the mosque served the Muslim community until population exchanges between Greece and Turkey led to its transformation into a cinema.
The mosque represents the Ottoman influence in Thessaloniki through its architectural design and stands as a reminder of the city's multicultural past.
Located in central Thessaloniki, the mosque operates as a protected archaeological site under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Culture.
The structure underwent conversion into a cinema named Alkazar, which significantly altered its original architecture and became its alternative name.
