Kara Musa Pasha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Rethymno, Greece.
The square structure includes remnants of a minaret base, a dome-covered fountain with dual entrances, and a vaulted funerary building in the courtyard.
Built in the 1680s on the location of a former Venetian monastery dedicated to Saint Barbara, following the Ottoman conquest of Rethymno in 1646.
The building represents the transition from Venetian to Ottoman architectural elements, marking a significant period in Cretan religious transformation.
The mosque remains closed to visitors, but the exterior can be viewed while exploring other monuments within Rethymno's historic district.
A fountain with two entrances stands next to the mosque, connecting Arkadiou Street to the inner courtyard where Ottoman tombstones remain visible.
