Ibrahim Pasha Mosque (Greek:Ιμπραήμ Πασά Τζαμί, fromTurkish:İbrahim Paşa Camii) is anOttoman-era mosque on theAegean island ofRhodes,Greece. It is the oldest out of the seven mosques inside theold walled city ofRhodes, and the only one open to worship today, serving theTurkish-Muslim community of Rhodes.[1]
After the Ottomanscaptured Rhodes from theKnights Hospitaller in 1522, Muslim Turkish populations settled within thewalled city, where new mosques were built, while others were made from converted Christian churches in order to serve the new community.[2]
The Ibrahim Pasha Mosque was built in 1540-1541 in what is today Platonos Square by SultanSuleiman, and is thus the oldest mosque on the island.[3][4]
The mosque's minaret had over the centuries suffered serious decay and damage. In the 1930s, where restoration works were commissioned underItalian rule.[5]
Although it has continuously served as a mosque, it was officially granted an operating license by the GreekMinistry of Education and Religion only in 2019, along with theDefterdar andGazi Hasan Pasha mosques in the neighbouring island ofKos.[6]
Built within the old medieval town of Rhodes, the mosque consists of a large square room with a twelve-sided dome and two successive pediments alongside the north side. In the northwest corner of the roof, a minaret stands on a polygonal base. An eight-sided fountain can be found in the middle of the yard outside.[3][4]
The minaret is cylindrical and has one balcony.
