Old Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Komotini, Greece.

The Eski Mosque stands in central Komotini with a square prayer hall, single minaret, and traditional brick construction displaying Ottoman architectural elements.

Built between 1608 and 1613 under Ottoman minister Ekmekçizade Ahmed Pasha, the mosque underwent various transformations, including a temporary conversion into a church during Bulgarian rule.

The mosque features intricate Iznik tiles and a marble mihrab, representing the merging of Greek neoclassical influences with Islamic architectural traditions.

The religious building maintains regular prayer services for the Muslim community of Komotini following extensive renovations completed in 2008.

Archaeological evidence suggests the mosque stands on the site of a former Byzantine church, as indicated by non-Ottoman inscriptions discovered in 1892.
