Imaret of Komotini, Ecclesiastical museum in an Ottoman imaret in Komotini, Greece

The Imaret of Komotini is a former Ottoman charitable building featuring a T-shaped layout and multiple domes, constructed with Byzantine brick masonry techniques and stone decorative details. Today it operates as an ecclesiastical museum displaying religious symbols, sacred vessels, liturgical garments, and old manuscripts from churches in the surrounding region.

Gazi Ahmed Evrenos built the imaret between the early 1360s and the end of the 14th century, beside the eastern walls of the Byzantine castle of Koumoutzedes, on the road from Constantinople westward. Local tradition links the site to a Byzantine church of Hagia Sophia and holds that parts of it were incorporated, but this is tradition, not documented fact. In the 19th century, during the Bulgarian occupation of the city, the eastern part was turned into a church, and a Cyrillic inscription survives above the door arch.

Local tradition holds that a Byzantine church of Hagia Sophia once stood here and that parts of it were built into the imaret. In the 19th century, during the Bulgarian occupation of the city, the eastern section was turned into a church; a Cyrillic inscription survives above the door arch. Since 1999 the building has housed the Ecclesiastical Museum of the Metropolis of Maroneia and Komotini.

The building stands by the eastern walls of the old Byzantine castle, on the axis of the road that once ran from Constantinople westward. The museum occupies the restored T-shaped hall itself, so the brick-and-mortar walls, re-tiled roof and original window forms are seen while walking the display. Allow time for both the 16th–20th-century exhibits and the masonry.

In 1924 an ice factory complex was set up on the site, and parts of the building were used until 1973 by Komotini's electric lighting service. The Cyrillic inscription above the door arch, left when the eastern section served as a church during the Bulgarian occupation, is still legible.
