New Mosque (Yeni Mosque)

The Yeni Mosque of Komotini (Yeni Camii), known as the New Temenos is an Ottoman monument founded in the late 16th century (1585). It is older by about 25 years of the so-called Old Mosque (Eski Mosque). It is located at the center of the city, next to the Clock Tower and is architecturally influenced by Neoclassicism.

Its foundation is attributed to Ahmet Pasha Ekmektzoglou. The inscription of 1902 informs us about the extensive renovations and expansions of the mosque while it was also renovated in 2007-8.

We built this website with love, in order to promote our homeland and give the opportunity for the people who also love our city to be able to show to the rest of the world how fun and interesting can be to live in or visit Komotini.
