Yeni Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Mytilene, Greece.

The stone structure of Yeni Mosque features a round vaulted roof made of bricks and includes a medrese in the garden with the mufti's residence.

Built in the late 19th century after an earthquake damaged the main mosque in 1867, Yeni Mosque served the Muslim population until the 1920s.

The building represents Ottoman architectural traditions with its high domes, semi-domes, and interior walls decorated with detailed murals and patterns.

The mosque remains closed to regular visitors, except during specific cultural events and art exhibitions organized by local authorities.

Following the 1922 population exchange between Greece and Turkey, the mosque lost its congregation and subsequently its roof and minaret during World War II.
