Veli Pasha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Ioannina, Greece.

The Veli Pasha Mosque is an Ottoman-era mosque in Ioannina with a central prayer hall topped by a dome and supported by four squinches. The structure features stone walls and was part of a larger complex that included educational and service facilities.

A first small mosque for daily prayer was built on the site of a Byzantine church of Saint Stephen, southwest of the Litharitsia hill about 500 m from the Ioannina Castle; its date is uncertain, shortly after 1617 or the late 17th century. Documents of 1670 name it after its founder, Bali Kethuda, and it was later called the Tsiekour mosque after the surrounding district. Around 1804 Veli Pasha, son of Ali Pasha, founded a waqf there and built a new mosque with a madrasa, kitchens, a library and a khan. Abandoned after 1913, it served as a barracks and lost its minaret around 1930.

The building incorporates Islamic architectural elements that reflect the religious community that once gathered here. The attached madrasa shows how education and worship were connected in a single complex.

The mosque lies about 500 m from the Ioannina Castle, southwest of the Litharitsia hill. Only the minaret base survives on the western façade, between the porch and the prayer hall. The kitchen building and madrasa stand north of the mosque; the old Quranic school houses the National Defense Museum of Ioannina.

The outer walls display a distinctive pattern made from cut stone blocks arranged in a specific style. The covered entrance porch once featured small open domes that are no longer visible today.
