Mosque of Sultan Ibrahim Han, Rethymno

Rethymno Municipality, Greece

The Ibrahim Han Mosque (from İbrahim Han Camii), also known as the Sultan Ibrahim Mosque, is a former mosque in the town of Rethymno, on the island of Crete, in southern Greece. Situated inside the old fortezza of Rethymno, the structure was originally built in the c. 1580s by the Venetians as a church. The church was converted to a mosque following the island's conquest at the hands of the Ottomans. The mosque was abandoned in 1971, and subsequently repurposed as an exhibition center.
