Ibrahim Pasha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Medieval Town, Rhodes, Greece
The Ibrahim Pasha Mosque is an Ottoman prayer house in Rhodes' Medieval Town with a large dome crowning the central chamber and smaller domes flanking the main prayer hall. An octagonal fountain sits in the courtyard, and the entrance features a marble archway framing the way inside.
This structure was built in 1540 under Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and stands as the first of seven mosques established within the walled city. Its construction marked the beginning of religious transformation during the Ottoman period.
The mosque serves the Turkish Muslim community of Rhodes as a place for regular worship and religious gatherings. Its presence shapes the religious character of the Medieval Town's diverse neighborhoods.
The mosque is located near Platonos Square and is easily accessible on foot within the Medieval Town. Opening times are connected to worship activities, so planning ahead helps ensure you can visit when it is open.
The marble archway at the entrance originally came from a Knights Hospitaller burial monument and was later built into the structure. This detail reveals how the city has layered its past over time.
