Lembet Mosque

Pavlos Melas Municipality, Greece · built 1870

The Lembet Mosque (Lembet Camii) is a former mosque in the city of Thessaloniki, Pavlos Melas, in the Central Macedonia region of Greece, named after the Lembet barracks, now known as Pavlos Melas barracks. It was the last mosque built in Thessaloniki, during the Ottoman era, before the city's incorporation into the Kingdom of Greece in 1912 following the First Balkan War. In 2013, the mosque's original name, Ferideh Hanim Mosque (Feride Hanım Camii), was discovered thanks to an old inscription. It was named after Ferideh Hanim, the wife of Thessaloniki's then governor, Hassan Fehmi Pasha.
