Mehmet Bey Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Serres, Greece.

The mosque features a central prayer hall with a large dome measuring 14.58 meters in diameter, constructed with yellow limestone and brick materials.

Built in 1492 by Mehmet Bey, son-in-law of Sultan Bayezid II, this religious structure represents the Ottoman presence in northern Greece during the 15th century.

The mosque includes a pentagonal portico with the mihrab, five arches supported by white marble columns, and intricate carved capitals reflecting Ottoman architectural traditions.

The structure ceased functioning due to flood damage from the Agioi Anargyroi stream and currently stands in a state requiring preservation efforts.

Four smaller rooms with half-domes flank the central prayer area on both east and west sides, creating a symmetrical architectural composition.
