Gazi Hasan Pasha Mosque
The Gazi Hasan Pasha Mosque (Greek: Γαζί Χασάν Πασά Τζαμί; Turkish: Gazi Hasan Paşa Camii) is an Ottoman-era mosque in the Aegean island of Kos, in Greece. Built in the 18th century, it serves the Muslim-Turkish community of Kos, as one of the two out of the five Ottoman mosques to be still operational and open for prayers on Kos, the other being the Defterdar Mosque.[1] It is also one of the two mosques in Kos to be named after Gazi Hasan Pasha, the other being the one in Kos town.
History
The mosque was built in 1778[2] or in between 1784 and 1785,[3] in the village of Platani in Kos by the Algerian Gazi Hasan Pasha, likely on the site of a previous building.[2][3] The mosque, particularly its minaret, was heavily damaged by the 1933 earthquake, and was thereafter repaired by the Italians, who held Kos at the time.[2] It was further damaged during the 2017 Aegean Sea earthquake, whereupon plans for extensive restoration were announced.[3]
Structure
Following the usual Ottoman style, the narthex and the mihrab is found on the ground floor, while on the upper floor contains the women's cloister, accessible by a staircase. There is a marble fountain in the courtyard area, which was used to grind wheat.[2][3]
