Monemvasia Mosque, Former Ottoman mosque and archaeological museum in Monemvasia, Greece.
The square prayer hall of the limestone structure measures 6.5 meters on each side with a rectangular western extension and dome support system.
Built in November 1540 during Ottoman control, the building served different purposes including a prison, church, and café before becoming a museum in 1999.
The museum displays marble remnants from a 12th-century church, sculpted pieces from Hagia Sophia, and artifacts spanning early Christian through Ottoman periods.
Located in the lower medieval town, the museum presents archaeological finds that document the evolution of Monemvasia through various historical periods.
The building structure combines architectural elements from multiple periods, reflecting its transitions between mosque, church, prison, and museum functions.
