Neradje Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Old Town, Rethymno, Greece.

The rectangular structure features three semicircular domes and a minaret with two balconies, standing as the tallest in Rethymno.

Originally built as Santa Maria Augustinian monastery, the building transformed into a mosque following the Ottoman conquest of Rethymno in 1646.

The architecture combines Renaissance elements with Ottoman design, including Corinthian-style columns and circular skylights influenced by architect Sebastiano Serlio.

The former mosque now operates as the Municipal Odeon music school, offering arts education and cultural events in the center of Rethymno.

During restoration work, workers discovered Venetian graves beneath the floor, revealing multiple layers of the building's religious and cultural past.
