Faik Pasha Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Marathovouni, Greece.

The Faik Pasha Mosque features a square praying hall with a central dome and a cylindrical minaret constructed from stone and brick materials.

Following its establishment in 1449 by Faik Pasha, the first Ottoman governor of Arta, the mosque formed part of a complex including baths and educational facilities.

The mosque structure incorporates architectural elements from earlier Byzantine churches, including materials from the Panagia Pantanassa and the church of Parigoritissa in Nikopolis.

Located near the Arachthos River, approximately three kilometers from the Bridge of Arta, the mosque stands as one of two preserved Islamic structures in the region.

The interior contains archaeological evidence of dual religious use, with both an Islamic mihrab and remnants of a Christian iconostasis from its period as a church.
