Zincirli Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Serres, Greece.

The Zincirli Mosque features a central square prayer space covered by a large dome, with two-story colonnaded porticos on three sides of the building.

The children of Selçuk Sultan commissioned the construction of this mosque during the late 16th century as a memorial to their mother.

The marble minbar, positioned in the southwestern corner, represents one of the finest examples of Ottoman religious craftsmanship preserved in Greece.

The mosque combines dressed stones encased in bricks for the main structure, while the entrance porch utilizes carefully dressed limestone ashlars.

The architectural design reflects the influence of Mimar Sinan's school, incorporating elements similar to those found in Istanbul's religious buildings.
