Ierapetra mosque, Ottoman mosque in Ierapetra, Greece
The Ierapetra mosque features a square structure with wooden hipped roof covered in tiles and a minaret at its northwestern corner.
The mosque, constructed in 1891, replaced a previous church dedicated to Saint John during the Turkish occupation of Ierapetra.
The mosque includes a mihrab prayer niche on its southeast inner wall, decorated with carved panels containing Arabic inscriptions from the Koran.
The mosque stands near Fort Kalés and the Roman Naumachia, with several beaches and churches within walking distance of the structure.
The minaret sustained damage during the 1953 earthquake, resulting in the loss of its upper section, yet maintains its presence up to its second balcony.
