Defterdar Kos Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Eleftherias Square, Kos, Greece.
The Defterdar Mosque features a two-story cubical structure with an octagonal dome supported by twelve arches and contains a square prayer room.
Ibrahim Efendi, the Ottoman Sultan's Minister of Finance, commissioned the construction of this religious building in 1780 on the site of a former church.
The mosque incorporates a wooden gynakonitis for women's quarters on the north side of the main hall, while the mihrab and minber stand to the south.
The central location in Kos Town makes the Defterdar Mosque accessible to visitors, though the structure remains closed following the 2017 earthquake damage.
A marble fountain with a vaulted structure rests beside the mosque, supported by six short columns that enhance the architectural composition.
