Halil Bey mosque, Ottoman mosque in central Kavala, Greece
The red stone mosque contains a large prayer hall with a glass floor section displaying archaeological remains of an earlier Byzantine church structure.
Built around 1530 during the reconstruction of Kavala, the mosque stands on the former site of a Byzantine church dedicated to Saint Paraskevi.
The building served as home to the municipal philharmonic orchestra from 1930 to 1940, leading to its local name 'Mosque of Music'.
Located near the Castle, the restored mosque functions as a museum and event venue, offering exhibitions in both interior spaces and forecourt areas.
The mosque complex includes a preserved madrasa with eight student rooms that now houses folklore collections and local cultural associations.
