Sheikh Ilahi Mosque

Pella Municipality, Greece · built 1500

The Ahmed Bey Mosque (from Ahmet Bey Camii), also known as the Sheikh Ilahi Mosque, is a former mosque in the town of Giannitsa, in Central Macedonia, northern Greece. It was built in the 15th century, during the Ottoman era, by Ahmed Bey, the grandson of Gazi Evrenos, the conqueror of Thrace and Macedonia and founder of the town. During the 20th century, the mosque was used for profane purposes and it is in very poor condition. Entrance to the former mosque is difficult due to all the plant life that covers it. It is one of the three surviving mosques in Giannitsa today, out of the twenty that existed once.
